The picture I uploaded was erased from my local PC, is there any way to download the original picture I uploaded?

Correct answer Jill_C

No, there is no way for you to download your own images. You would have to have an Adobe Stock subscription to do that, and licensing your own images is a violation of the Contributor Agreement.

Stuff happens. Data can get lost or corrupted without your knowledge.

Copies of your original images should be stored on backup drives or uploaded to cloud storage.

 

I use Backblaze backup & recovery service.  But there are others like DropBox and Google Drive.  

As a computer user, you must have a backup strategy to protect yourself from data loss.

In addition: in very few cases is the uploaded file the original file. 

 

I recommend, you start looking for a good back-up solution to avoid such issues in the future.
