freeform data file location

I lost my boards due to syncing issues. Here is what I did to restore my boards Via Time Machine.

Open Time Machine

Select Macintosh HD

Users

<Your name of account>

Library**

Containers

Right click on FreeForm folder and restore. A warning will prompt, hit Replace.

Open Freeform and you should get it back.

This helped me get my school work back. I had to copy the boards and move it on a New board so it can sync. To see if it Syncs or not, just try to share it. If it shows Share options, you're good. If it gives you an error, open board and copy it to a New board. Copy Paste.

I hope this can help someone. It worked for me.

**(If you don't see Library, Go to top bar, View, Show View options, Check box Show Library Folder, then close View options)

As I dive deeper, it seems that all our boards are stored in a data folder as a combined data file. Boards are not stored as a single traditional file like PDFs, Pages, Jpgs, etc.

No clue why they did it this way but surely makes it hard to backup and restore.

Whatever is contained the the User Account ( Home Folder ) on this computer would normally be backed up when Time Machine Backup  is used

Weird design choice x2

Every board: either local or Cloud based(when shared) depending on user choice

Please, the slowdowns are terrible. Help us out.

Thanks. I was wondering where files were located. It is a really weird design choice.
