How do I open my older files in photoshop 2021? I have a lot of work saved from many years ago that I want to open but I get an error message stating that the psd file is not recognized. It makes no sense that a photoshop file is not recognized by photoshop.

Check 2021's File Settings as shown in this screenshot. Does this help?

Still doesn't work.

I see the files are grayed out with a cloud next to it. Is it stored on your local computer drive or a cloud or other remote server?

Are you positive it is a PSD and not another file with the wrong extension?

Very positive. I created the files in photoshop in 2011-2018.
