My files seem to be missing. OMG

[adieu]

Windows 10 user. Two days ago my PC crashed and a technician had to wipe my drive and reinstall Windows. Today I logged in to Adobe CC, downloaded the desktop app and the two programs I use most, Illustrator and InDesign.

In the desktop app, I clicked on files. It says I have no files in the cloud. I thought I was going to faint. I hope that's not true. There was years of work there. My business.

Hope someone can help me.

Sorry. I think I figured it out. I want synced files, not cloud files. Such a dummy

You should always have a local copy of all files

I use a Sata docking station and SEVERAL 'bare' drives for backup
