Warning: that 'unlimited' art storage site I used just deleted my whole 2023 folder
I paid for a year of CloudCanvas Pro at $120 because they said files were safe forever. Went to grab an old piece last week and my entire 'Project_Archives' folder from last year was just gone, no backup warning. Has anyone else lost work with them and found a better place to keep finished art safe?

Man, that's a nightmare scenario. Honestly used to trust those "forever" promises from smaller companies too, but seeing stuff like this happen totally flipped my view. Now I just keep a local hard drive copy of everything finished, no matter what any online service says. It's extra work, but losing a whole folder like that is the real cost.

CloudCanvas had that "forever safe" promise on their front page for months... honestly sounds like a marketing gimmick now. Losing a whole year's work folder is brutal but maybe check if it got moved or archived weird in their system. These smaller sites change stuff without telling people all the time.
