Missing Synced Files on Desktop

[michaelt91196546]

Hi Everyone,

I recently had to wipe my Macbook Pro. Before doing so I made sure my files were synced on my CC Desktop. 

After wiping I went and redownloaded CC and only a portion of my files synced even though it said it was done syncing. 

I went online to CC to check my files and a lot of my files were missing. It's like they just disappeared.

Is there any way to recover them or are they gone?

online, check the deleted folder.

Yea didn't see them in there

then they're lost.

in the future, never rely on cloud (from adobe or anyone else) saved files.

I know it doesn't help you now, but please see Schofield's Second Law here:

You should always have a local copy of all files, not just in the cloud
If you don't have space on your computer drive use an external drive
I use a Sata docking station and SEVERAL 'bare' drives for backup
