    Hi Gotem

     

    Thanks for posting. 

     

    Regrettably, the information currently available doesn't provide enough context to offer a solution. Could you please clarify whether the file was stored offline or in the cloud? Additionally, it would be helpful to know the duration since the file was last accessed.

     

    Eagerly awaiting your response.

     

    Thanks,

    Genreve

    Hi Gotem,

     

    Thanks for clarifying. 

     

    Regrettably, if a file has been canceled for over a year, it is no longer available in our system. When a file is canceled, it remains in the cloud for an additional 60-90 days in a read-only format. Following this period, the file is archived and remains in this state until it has been a year since the cancellation. At this point, the file is completely removed from the system in compliance with our data retention policies.

     

    Given this process, we strongly recommend users retain a backup of their file after cancellation to ensure they have access to their data even after it's removed from the system.

     

    We appreciate your patience. Let us know how we can help further. 

     

    Thanks,

    Genreve

    Hi, Gotem

     

    Thank you for providing the requested details through private messages.

     

    As per checking, the business name you have provided as well as the serial number is still active. If you no longer have an access to the company file, it is highly recommended to check with the other admin of the file to add you. For more information on how to do this, please see the Help Article: Set up user access.

     

    Please feel free to create a post again if you encounter any issues.

     

    Best regards,

    Doreen
