Hello everybody I was working on editing in Premiere Pro and suddenly all the linked files lost connection. I have already restarted the application, cleared the media cache and restarted the computer. But it still didn't work. There are dozens or even more than 100 files that have lost links. Has anyone been through this and could help me?

    Google drive (and other cloud sync utilities) can block PPro's access to media; when that happens, PPro marks the media offline.

    Hi Bruce. All media is on Google Drive. I was working on the file and suddenly it unlinked them all. When I went to link file by file it already played in the correct folder where it is, this is strange. He knows where he is but he unlinked.

    Is all that media on the same storage? 
    Was the missing media on a local disk, or the network? 
    Did the storage volume (or a containing directory) get moved, or renamed?
