21.0.0 Where has autorecover gone? MacOS Mojave. I do not have a dedicated scratch disk.

And why does it seem like Adobe movies its location with every release with little or no doucmentation of this?

    Ok, thank you for the explanation. But, unfortunately, in the 2019 and 2020 versions, it is not working properly... 

    Sometimes it works perfectly, and others, just doesn't work...

    If your computer crashes / shuts down unexpectedly, Photoshop reopens on next launch with a recovered version of the file you had open. In an orderly shutdown, the recovery file is deleted because you won't need it. You have already saved it.

     

    Autorecovery is not a folder you can go to and retrieve your files. The recovery file is not written in such a way that it can be directly opened. So it really doesn't matter where it is, you can't do anything with it. It's crash recovery, nothing else.

     

    BTW you do have a scratch disk, Photoshop can't even open if you don't. But if you don't specify one, the system drive will be used.

    On finder, click Go and then Go to folder and paste this:

    "

    ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CC 2020/AutoRecover

    "

    But, if you are looking for a file... forget it, autorecover folder is always empty when we need it...
