Question

Cloud file blank

Hi,

I was working on a cloud XD file and the power went down.

After a few hours the power came back and I was happy because I knew that I had my work on the cloud and it was autosaved.

The file is there, the thumbnail looks good but when I click on it shows an error for a split second which is replaced with another popup that says "There's a newer version of this document. Changes were made on another device....". I didn't do any changes on another device. The options on the popup are Save as... and Accept Changes. Both of these generate empty new documents on cloud or on my computer.

That document has a lot of work on it. And I'm sure that the file actually has a decent version inside (before showing errors I can see the artboards for a split second) but I can't download XD files straight from the cloud. The only option that it has is "delete".

Please help!

Apologize for your experience. If the solutions provided by the experts here haven't helped, and if you have also not been successful in accessing the file from another computer, please send me your Adobe ID, location, and phone number over a private message along with the URL of this post.

I'm not sure if either of these will help but:

1. In other threads there are suggestions to look at the Open Recent list.

2. Is the Revert to Saved active or greyed out?

Have you tried either of these from the Menu yet?

It may also help others if you let us know which OS and XD version you are using.

Hi Sjaani

Thanks for your answer.

1. I tried opening the xd file through the Open Recent but it goes into the same errors.

2. After I click on Accept Changes or Save As is creates a blank file. That file has Revert to Saved greyed out.

- I am using Windows 10

- XD v 19.1.22.6

Is there a way for me to download the original file from the cloud? without having to use Save As?
