Help! All files from this university account lost after deactivation.

My university deactivated my account. After a few months, I asked them to reactivate it. Now all my files are gone. I saved everything to cloud before too! Only a few of my files are left. Is there a way to recover them?

    in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

    p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

    What happens to my existing files?
    You can continue to access your Creative Cloud files on your computer and the Creative Cloud website, subject to a 2-GB cloud storage limit. If you’re over the 2-GB cloud storage limit when you cancel, you have 30 days to move files out of cloud storage.

    I think you have 30 days before files are gone forever

     

    For the future save to something you own
