Suggestion for a long-term Fusion data repository

Hi
I have just received an email "Important Update: Fusion Content Storage Standard".
It seems to say that users with a personal licence may lose their data if they do not log into Fusion during a 365 day period. It says this does not apply to educational users (my case) but, given that my educational licence needs re-enabling every 12 months I have no confidence that it would survive if my licence expired through lack of use.
I have been designing some components that will require long term maintenance (hopefully into the next century, at least, though I don't imagine I'll be around to see it). I would like someone to be able to pick up all the project files in 30-40 years time if need be, regardless of whether they have been accessed every year in the meantime. (I think that if I had backed up my SolidWorks files in 1996 I would still be able to access them somehow). Given that there is no easy way of downloading a complete project, and uploading at a future date might prove problematic, it might well be easier to know they were safe in the cloud.
It would be nice if Autodesk provided a long-term storage service that guaranteed availability of one's files, regardless of whether the account is active or not.
