Topic: Where *was" your information stored.....

I initially posted this in the general section as Topic: Canva gone?   But I think it is quite pertinent in the "information storage"  for a different sort of discussion.  Not "Is Canva still working?" but "where do you store your information?"

I can see the Canva website, but I am not a user and haven't tried logging in. However, there are posts on social media saying people can't access their work on Canva. (and you know you can trust Social media :-) )

However, this report https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c5y8k7k6v1rt  says multiple websites and systems are done but, when I last looked, didn't mention Canva.

The point is that clouds, sky based or computer based, are not yours and can move or disappear though forces you can't see and have no control over.  This is why I always use computer based systems with perpetual licenses that do not need to check home to work. As it says on my A-Pub start screen:- https://i.postimg.cc/WDmcNLw7/Screenshot-2025-10-06-100439.png

Can someone check that it is still possible to use the online parts of Canva for work? Even if it is still there, and unaffected, note that in 2025 there have been multiple major online system failures and hacks of major systems.  You should not depend on anything on-line for your work.  Certainly nothing you don't have backed up or copies of locally.

For my self I have one RAID 5 NAS and one RAID 6 NAS with a total of 100TB of storage... OK so it  is about 80TB of usable space but nothing is stored in the cloud that is not on one of those two NAS.
