You do not have to import F3D files, simply open them from your computer, then save them to your cloud database.

Edit: You can Import too if you wish.

Yes sir, I am no longer affiliated with the local Vo Tech school and
customer service suggested backing up my files and subscribing to the
Personal version. I copied the .f3d files to another folder on my
computer. The steps required to import those files into the new Personal
Subscription is what I'm seeking information. Thank you very much. Gene

Hi @Anonymous ,

Fusion 360 is a cloud data management product, so when you want to transfer files from one account to another we suggest below process.

If you have copied the .f3d files on your local folder then we need to follow the steps mentioned my @jhackney1972 .

Posting my solution for others as I have searched the forums while I was dealing with this issue.

You can read the previous post to this thread that led to this.

I was looking for a solution to a problem that did not exist. While logged in to my Autodesk account I subscribed to the Personal Subscription. It deleted the Educational subscription and installed the Personal subscription. No changes to the files. Everything was as before but now my few files have a [edit] or [read] button under each file. This is absolutely no problem for me...perfect.
My original concern was stemmed when the Autodesk online chat guy told me the files would be deleted when I changed subscriptions.

Hopefully others will see this thread.
Thank You for assisting.
