Hi, I am having regarding accessing cloud files from my account and I am not sure why. I recently restarted my plan as a 'personal account' using the same email, but I am no longer able to access my cloud files. My account was previously paid by my university and used a school portal to login, however as my school cancelled this service, I cannot login as an 'educational account' -- I suspect this transfer over has caused this issue but I am unsure what I can do as a huge portion of my work was on the cloud

ask your school administrator to reinstate your account until you have a chance to transfer your files

This won't help the original person with lost files, but For anyone else reading this...
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 for files
