How to create local backup of all files?

Today the boss asked me to create a local backup of all our Fusion files. After losing an entire day's work to some kind of issue with a Fusion update or something, we're not so trusting of the cloud. I've seen multiple threads asking about how to do a mass export from the cloud, or some easy way to backup all these files, but haven't seen any acceptable solutions. Downloading every file individually would take forever, especially when we have hundreds, perhaps thousands of files. I find it hard to believe that the AutoDesk team hasn't addressed this issue, especially with multiple people asking about it. It seems elementary. So how do I do it?

As always, any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Art

Hi,
If you want to make a backup of your projects, you can easily export your project on your local device.
Go to export >> set your file type>> set the destination folder>> Export.

That's it.

Thank you.

So you're telling me the only way to do what I'm asking is to open up every project we've ever done in Fusion, one by one, and export them one at a time?

@etfrench : Thank you for recommending my little add-in. You will still have to open your individual designs, but the export might be a bit more smooth because you can export f3d, step and stl files in one go. API doesn't allow the export of f3z (external links) so if you're using this, the add-in will only export step and stl files.
