Files disappear from CC

[marketing maven]

I went to retrieve files from CC and they were no longer there!!!  My colleague had the same issue.  I found them in my trash and I never moved them there.  What happened and how do I prevent this from happening again?

I work remote and this is how we share files -- they are all native files and losing them means starting all over.

Help!

Hi Marketing maven,

If the issue occurs again could you help us out with the following info?

I know this is an issue engineering is aware of and is working on. We are still collecting information and log files to better understand the issue. If you would be willing to collect the following information to help us better understand the issue it would really help.

Please run the log collector shortly after the issue occurs on any machines which were affected

After you run it, it will create a .zip file on your desktop of all of the log files from your system. If you could upload and share a link with me on where to download the .zip from, I'll pass it on to our engineering dept. to review. You can send the link privately by clicking on my name here in the forums and select the message option.

Engineering may have some additional questions but this will help us get started.

Please also send these to me as a direct message for privacy

• List of Adobe ID's from all affected workstations
• Were the files which were moved to the trash/archive part of a collaboration?
• What was the operating system's for the workstations which were affected?
• Did all affected have the latest version of the Creative Cloud app installed?
• Did the issue seem to be triggered by of the collaborators systems going into a sleep state?
• Were any of the affected systems behind a firewall or proxy server?
• What was the internet speed used for the affected workstations?   
• Timezone and locations of affected workstations?
• Was there any kind of error message at the time the issue occurred?

Thanks,

- Dave

Thanks for following up Nick,

Unfortunately if files get moved to the Archive the original file structure is sometimes lost. If you restore them from the Archive with sync enabled they should get returned to their prior location and then resynced to your computer.
