I had about 1/2 of my Solidworks Student edition files stolen off my older Laptop by OneDrive. The Parts and Assemblies will still appear in SW on new Laptop, but will be "not found" and with /OneDrive/ in path.
IIRC I turned off OneDrive about 1 year ago when I discovered files were missing (being deleted of Laptop) when working off-line.
I just recently signed back into MS Account, got 365 Subscription, but "Restore OneDrive" only wants to go back 28days.
I've heard OneDrive will keep files for two years, or sometimes 6 months. I'm way under the 1 gig limit and its only a few hundred simple SW files, and OneDrive says I'm at 0.1Gig.
SW expired on old Laptop, and OneDrive "ghost" file names still show. Newer Laptop has active working SW, and I've transferred what looked like the SW files but they are still only ghosts with /OneDrive/ and "unable to locate" when I try to open in SW.
Seems like if its possible should be quick and easy. I could bring both Laptops to you, with my cell phone(s) for when they want to send me a code, etc, and wait while you try. I'm in Pittsburg and could drive about 30 miles (for starters LOL).
"Success" would be opening the now missing "ghost" OneDrive files successfully in SW on new Laptop without missing files.
