Hey everyone,

 

Sorry to hear that you're unable to open the file and get an error "Sorry that you are unable to open this document." or  Error 47, unable to open the document." We'll try our best to help you with this. 

 

First, there are two quick solutions which you may try. 

  1. Open the same file on a different machine or user account( Windows 10/ Mac). 
  2. Download a previous version of the file from version history from assets.adobe.com using these steps (https://community.adobe.com/t5/adobe-xd/revision-history-in-xd-helps-ensure-peace-of-mind-during-collaboration/m-p/10703548?page=1#M18044

Hi there! This error message generally means that you don't have permissions to view the document, or that the document doesn't exist. Since you're obviously sharing between team members, is it possible that you have more than one Adobe IDs and are logged into one of them?

In case anybody needs a real fix, instead of the Adobe responses that don't work:

If you get error 47 after your computer has crashed, there most likely is a corrupt version of your file stored locally. I tried clearing temp files and all other suggestions, but couldn't get it fixed.

What did fix it in the end, was going to the CC Desktop app, and into your files. Locate the file that won't open, right click on it and select "make available online only". Now when you open the file it is pulled fro

Hi, Even I am facing the same issue. I have an important project file in my cloud and I am not able to open that. I've even tried with Signing out and Signing In, but still, I am facing this issue. But when I tried to open in my mobile I was able to open the project. Please have a look into this issue. And please get me a solution to get it back.

In the time we understand what's causing this issue, can you you try opening the file from https://assets.adobe.com/cloud-documents? You can also try opening a previous version of the document from the version history if you are facing issues with using the current version.

 

Thanks,

i'm aware of the other topics about this situation but i tried all solutions but nothing changed. it was a cloud document. i can see it on my Desktop Xd but i cant access it. Mostly the solution is "try with other PC or try with web browser" but i cant see in the "cloud documents" my file with other stuffs. Only my Desktop XD shows it. but  i can nott access it. After all, i send the project to "deleted" location i can see it there now but i cant restore it.

Hello, I have an issue opening a local file, as soon it finish loading (I can see the designs and in the left bar its printed all the artboards) then  I get the error "There was an error opening the file..." (Error code: 47). After I click ok, the document close and can't do anything.

 

I already tried the steps listed in a similar post with the Error 47 but for cloud documents and didn't fix the problem.(https://community.adobe.com/t5/adobe-xd/error-quot-sorry-we-can-t-open-this ...)

 

I tried opening the file in other computers with different Adobe accounts and the issue remains. I work on this file locally, only have being shared for Design Specs with my dev team.

 

This is a very important document for my company all the new designs for our interface is stored there. Need help urgently my job is on the line for this error.

Hi there,

 

Sorry to hear about the trouble. This is strange as generally, we get this error while opening a cloud document. Could you please share a few more details like:

 

  1. A screenshot of the About XD info page.
  2. Where exactly the file is saved? Is it saved locally on your system storage or in any folder which is synced with a network location, like a google drive folder?
  3. Please try changing the location of the file to any other drive and then try opening the file.
  4. If that doesn't help, will it be possible for you to share the file with us so that we can check it on our end? If yes, please add the file to DropBox or any cloud storage and share the link here or you can send it through a private message by clicking on my name. We'll try our best to help you with this.

Hello,

 

First of all thanks for the support and sorry for the late reply, our office was close a few days. Regarding your notes see below:

 

1.- See About XD Info page below

2.- The file is stored locally in my computer (just in D drive) and the folder is not synced to a network location.

3.- I changed the file location, even the name too and didn't work. Also I copied the file to other computers and even opened with a different Adobe account (not associated with the same email I currently use) and still give the same error.

4.- I sent you the file via private message

 

Thanks a lot for the support, I really hope to hear from you soon
