    I have an update

    A huge thank you to @Abhi.G @ ADBE and the entire team at Adobe for their continuous support.  I am extremely relieved to have all my files back.  I am very grateful to get my work back.  Thank you

      @Emily31751519z4n1 

       

      Perhaps this was ambiguous naming on our part, but note that the [Originals] folder is where a copy of your file is preserved for download-only access  -- after the file from the previous version has been migrated and then converted to the new format.

       

      However, as I outlined in https://community.adobe.com/t5/adobe-express-bugs/old-express-files-gone/idc-p/14016699#M442, files are not always migrated automatically. It is quite possible the files your are finding missing may still be in the previous location  https://express.adobe.com/sp/projects

       

      Could you please check there and let us know? If you still don't find them there, please send us your adobe id (the email you log in with) -- you can DM me if you prefer.

       

      Thanks,

      Abhi G

      Hi there, 

       

      I've tried different browsers, logging in and out, clearing caches/cookies, and I'm still unable to access my files from my Homepage as well as the "Original" folder. I have several projects I'm working on and need access to. Can you please provide additional troubleshooting steps I could take?

      Dear @Abhi.G @ ADBE 

      Thank you for your message.  I tried the steps you outlined.  I never the dialog saying that the rile is already converted.  Once I click on the thumbnail it just hangs and nothing happens.

        Hi @Dayamudra31736178ts96,

         

        Did you create the work in the current version of Adobe Express? Try going into your stuff section and selecting the blue square which says access files & see if you have the file there and try to move it from there.

         

        Let us know if that helps.

         

        Regards,

        Tarun

        @vtanzi

         

        The conversion bug I mentioned (specific to Web Page files) is now fixed. Could you try re-conversion again using these steps?

        1. Duplicate the file that won't open (for backup)
        2. Delete the file that won't open
        3. Go to the [Originals] folder
        4. Click on the original file thumbnail; this brings up a dialog saying that the file is already converted (but that doesn't matter)
        5. Click the "Open converted file" button; this will re-trigger conversion
        6. After conversion completes, the file should open
        7. The re-converted file is unfortunately left in the [Originals] folder, but you can easily move it where you wish
        8. If everything looks ok, you can safely delete the backup file created in step 1

         

        Please let us know if it does or doesn't work.

        Thanks,
        Abhi G

        I have the same "cannot covert files" error.  I was on the phone with a dedicated Adobe Express team member for over 2 hours last night.  We screen shared and he took some sort of console files from my desktop.  I was told I would get a call back in 24-48 hours!!!  My project (that I CANNOT access is due tonight!  So stressful and it seems like Adobe is clueless.  Why/how do you launch a new version without knowing there are issues?!

        Hopefully, fixing that bug will resolve the issue--
