Live 11 Project Files Randomly Disappear?

No idea why this happens, but occasionally I save a project fine, I collect all and save, but when I go to open it the next day, it's greyed out from recent projects and there's no project file anymore.

This seems to happen almost at random, but I keep having to revert to backups of projects, which is obviously really frustrating.

If anyone has any similar experience or any suggestions please let me know because I'm at a complete loss here :/

Just to clarify, there's a project folder with samples, backup etc, but no Live.als file

Problem solved for me:

Project files accidentally archived from iCloud Drive. Accessible via Spotlight, can be reinstalled to correct place.

Hi!

This is what is going on with me. I lost everything. I'm gonna check your link. I use Time Machine to backup to a LaCie external and I was told this would cover me. When I go back even a year in Time Machine somehow, in many previous versions of Live there is no .als files. I'm so disappointed.

I will try to follow link you provided.
