Creative Cloud files synch question

I just read the email stating that Adobe will stop synchronizing Creative Cloud files. I work primarily with Adobe Animate and have found it useful to synchronize my files and get a recovery file in case of data loss. This feature has saved my project and my time several times. But now I have some doubts about it. If Adobe discontinues the service, will it still be possible to recover one or more recovery files? If so, from where?

to prevent significant work loss save your flas with increasing version number appended to the file name.

So it's as I thought. For example, if the power accidentally goes out at my house, I'm screwed because I can't anticipate the unexpected and create a backup in time.
As I said before, I have found the automatic file recovery feature really useful so far and one of the main reasons why I decided to rely on Adobe's service: priority to project safety.
Anyway, what a pity!

you're not "screwed" if you follow my suggestion. ie, with a power outage, you only lose the amount of work between your last two saves.
