Fusion 360 saveing/syncing issues between computers

[1019928]

Hi,

Issue 1:   About a  month ago I was working on some projects at school.  I then came home and worked on them on my laptop, and rendered them.  When I got back to school, the changes I made at home were gone, but the renderings were still there.  When I got back home, the changes were not there either.

Issue 2:   Today I was following a help article about relating to Basic Training Lesson 6- Assemblies- the one involving the hydraulic pump.  When I finished what my teacher had assigned, I saved it (and assumed that it would be immedailty uploaded to the cloud).  I then started some renderings.  When I had to go, I quickly closed Fusion 360, not bothering to read any warnings, assuming it would be the usual stuff about losing unfinished renders.

Steps to Solve:  I think I will take a look into the file versioning system, it looks like I can restore previous version of the file.  UPDATE:  Restoring to the version saved a little before school ended seemed to fix it, it just lost a minor appearance change.  I would still like to know why things like the above issues keep hapening, espillay issue 1.

Computers in question:

Windows 7 Pro (Laptop) [Probably various updates]

Windows 7 Enterprise (School desktop)

Both systems have generic Fusion 360 installed without administrator privileges

When you save, it saves first a local cache copy to be uploaded. If this save/upload is not complete the versions will not fully upload to the cloud. I regularly work on three different computers in various locations and have only encountered something similar when not allowing the upload to take place. 

If you go to exit Fusion during this upload a message will appear that it's uploading but you can "quit now", this will cancel the upload and force quit Fusion 360. This is absolutely not advised.
