This doesn’t sound like an issue for those who use Fusion frequently, however you may want to find ways to get local files, just to be safe.

If you're a beginner: get used to a different software, because Autodesk is the king of enshittification. Your files will be hostage and then you're going to pay the subscription to keep them alive. Don't waste your precious time in mastering Autodesk applications, the more you wait the harder is the switch

It's just so rough to switch away from the one major CAD suite that doesn't tar and feather UX devs on sight. Seriously, I like solidworks and solidedge and etc etc, but holy cow those interfaces are just unpleasant to use if you haven't been steeped in them for the last 30 years. Even Rhino is more intuitive.

I found Onshape to be quite nice. It was relatively easy to translate skills from Fusion to it after a few YouTube videos.

This and the online-only are the reasons I no longer use onshape. While I don’t mind for a majority of my stuff to be public it just doesn’t make sense for everything and then you can’t even use it e.g on longer train rides without internet.

Whilst this is fair criticism, I was responding to complaints about the UX in other CADs.
