Missing file

Missing file

Hey everyone,

 

I have been working on a file for 8 years as the sole owner and all of a sudden I cannot locate the file. Support keeps telling me that the owner deleted the file and the user must be re invited. Problem is, I am the owner and no one else uses the system. I have tried everything from finding deleted files searching entire site for days. I am desperate to find this file so any help or suggestions would be huge!!

Thank you in advance!

What does the Events page show for the file?

It doesn't show the file. Support says they can see it but I cannot. Maybe I'm using the wrong terminology. I created a master folder to store all my files.

Hey @steved6 - since you've contacted our support team about this, could you share your ticket ID so that we can look it up in our system? 

 

Also, did you take a look at your sharing tab as well, apart from the events page?
