How would I get my Figma work off of my (their) Macbook, in the event I get fired from my job?

Hello. I work for a big company that you have DEFINITELY heard of. I am a UX product designer so my livelihood depends highly on my past work and portfolio - and not so much on my resume. Since I really don't trust these big corps I am trying to get all my blood, sweat and tears work that I've done in the past several years. I've managed to get a couple of older projects - back when the security was not so bad. However, overtime, this company's security has gotten increasingly harder and now I can't even access simple internet (e.g. Google mail and Google drive) unless I sign in via their VPN. Mind you, this is a company issued MacBook Pro. So before I would have downloaded the Figma file (as a ZIP) and then just put it in my Google drive and came out clean. But now I can't do that. And as a precautionary measure, I was thinking about just taking it into a shop and having them extract the ACTUAL hard drive files and transfer the specific files directly from there (assuming I ZIPPED up the Figma files and they are ready to go).

But what do you guys think of this plan!?

I really just don't trust these greedy corporations. Gotta be prepared. Others are great survivalists out in the wild. I, on the other hand, does what it takes to survive corporate.
