Oh boy,
a bunch of work I did is suddenly obsolete because of file corruption. Now, only AFTER the whole corrupt files thing does it occur to a person to Google that stuff only to see that "the Serif dev team recommends storing files locally". Well it's kinda late now, isn't it?
There should really be a disclaimer for pro-grade software that says across the screen "DON'T USE GOOGLE DRIVE OR ELSE!!"
Which is in by itself pretty silly that software like this prevents you from using cloud services so you can sync files across your devices.
Now that I had my little rant, is there a way to get my files back from the abyss of corruption?
And is Serif actually working to actually fix this issue?
The files were saved in god-knows-what version of Affinity Designer V1, and I tried to open it in Affinity V1, V2 and nothing. I'm on Windows if that's something that can help.
