Access to all Creative Cloud apps & services will stop when your subscription ends.  That includes cloud storage, Adobe Portfolio website, etc...

Is there a way to save out the editable files? Do they remain within the cloud for an indefinite period of time--until I renew my subscription. Will they always be available? Or does Adobe delte the files after a certain amount of time?

you should save/download your cc files to a local computer.

If you cancel your paid Creative Cloud subscription then your plan will revert to the free level of membership, which provides 2 GB of cloud storage at no cost for everyone.

If you are currently using more than 2 GB, then you have 30 days to reduce your online usage down to that level. If not, then files stored in the cloud could be lost if you do not copy/save them locally to your own computer.

Came here looking for an answer and looks like this is it. I had a subscription for several years on the ipad. I disabled it for a year and came back to an empty folder. All my work for the past few years is just gone. I didn't understand that the app was ONLY using cloud storage, I thought it was local on my device.

Word of warning to anyone getting ready to back off from the subscription, a local backup is a must. Cannot trust the cloud storage. People are saying that you get 2GB free, but I have zero files now. So if they give you 2, it must only be if you use less than 2. I can't say how many GB i had a few months ago, but it was dozens of projects.

always save local.
