Adobe officially does not support working off non-local sources.

Something may have interrupted when saving to your external that corrupted the file.

This is the risk in working on an external drive.

Check for updates for Illustrator and Windows to make sure that does not resolve.

Otherwise, I would email your file to the address indicated on the message and see if they can assist.

Hi @Mishraq,

 

Thanks for your patience. I have tried multiple times to recover the file, but there is no PDF data in the file.
I was able to open the file in Illustrator and Apple Preview, but there is no content. I can't even recover the thumbnail of the artwork.

The file has gotten corrupted when stored or saved in an external drive. Monika & Kevin has already covered that.

 

Please feel free to reach out if you run into any other questions or issues in the future. We'd be happy to help.

Please read this about saving:

https://helpx.adobe.com/mena_en/illustrator/kb/illustrator-support-networks-removable-media.html

 

Please check that harddrive for hardware issues.

Also it's always important to have multiple copies of your files, so that you have a backup in case anything goes wrong. Only one copy is like asking for trouble. Incase there is a crash while saving, you're doomed.

 

For this file, please send the file to the address in the error. Maybe they can help you.

Did you send the file to that address?

The Illustrator engineers are probably the only ones who can recover the file.
