I have my folders... but lost ALL the files?
Hi. I know this might seem like a stupid post, but seriously. . . all my folders in a specific directory (of which there are many sessions) are intact, as well as sub-folders (Bounced Files, Audio, etc) but there is not a single file within any of those folders.
Some of these sessions had multiple files (I give each a new file name every time I log off) yet they are now gone. I did make back-ups, on external drives, but they have gone too! Finally, I back up to pCloud...same there. The directory structure is intact, but no files to be seen anywhere. Has anyone ever seen this before? I wonder if it is to do with me setting pCloud to automatically back-up these files? Thanks to anyone that has any suggestions! Regards, Mick.

Re: I have my folders... but lost ALL the files?
You’re in the Mac section, but sig says PC. Anyway, check to see if the files were moved to another folder in your user folder, i.e. iCloud or OneDrive. If your sessions were in your documents folder, I know that certain configurations of OneDrive will move all your existing files in your Documents folder to the OneDrive Documents folder. Don’t use iCloud on the PC here, but it may operate like OneDrive when sync is setup.

Re: I have my folders... but lost ALL the files?
First thing I'd do is open one of the sessions and see where the relink window says the files are *supposed* to be - if in fact they're supposed to be in one of those folders that's empty then yeah, it's probably down to some kind of disk management problem. But if you're lucky you've just got disk allocation assigned somewhere other than where you think and the files will be there. Good luck!
