Sup everyone,
I moved out into a student house a few months ago. I did not and still don't feel comfortable taking my entire pc setup with me so I kept it at my parents. Still wanting to produce and what not I bought a laptop for on the road and in my new home. I bought google drive cloud storage with that, and basically linked everything related to ableton (yes including samples which I regret) to that cloud, so I could access all the files on my laptop.
Today I was working on a project which I *have* to finish, as this is a project for a friend. He is studying something music related and I have to release a song. This afternoon I worked on it for a bit, I saved the project, opened a new one as I had gotten some different ideas for something else and then closed ableton. Now I'm back to export what I have so far to show him, and the ableton file is greyed out in the "open file" toolbar. The .als file is also missing in the ableton cache folder, and I do not see a deleted folder in my google drive trash can.
What the f*** happened and how do I get my project back? There was no crash report, and ableton seemed to work just fine.
Follow up: While I wrote this post and was troubleshooting myself I searched for the file with the program "search everything". I found an .als.ink file and it thankfully opened the project, but all the progress I made today is not here. I also can't save the project and the project name is still grayed out in the file toolbar.
Edit: I just remembered. When I went to work on the last project, when I closed ableton it gave me no "do you want to save?" prompt and it automatically closed and saved to untitled.
Project file has disappeared from file folder
Re: Project file has disappeared from file folder
Happend to me as well. It was the One Drive Folder which was selectet as the new default case.
All my recent projects are gone because I didnt buy enough Space from Microsoft I guess. But for real why would someone decide the One Drive Folder that gets emptied on a certain bases would be a good place to those Projects eludes me.
