Freeform: lost all my Boards Hi community :) I tried to re-enable my freeform-icloud synchronisation and enabled it on my ipad. Unfortunatly this deleted all of my boards and i don't know how to get them back, which is super frustrating, as i've put so many hours in to creating them for my studies. the "recents" folder is also empty. Does anyone know what to do? I've got my hopes high, that someone know's the trick to save the data that seems to be lost. Many thanks xx

Where are the boards I create in Freeform I started using the Freeform application on my laptop. I turned on device syncing and the board showed on my iPhone and on my iMac. I then created a new board on my iMac but it did not show up on my other devices. I then turned the device sharing off on my iMac and the first board disappeared, but my new board was there. The I turned device sharing back on and was prompted to merge the boards. I agreed and the first board reappeared but my new board disappeared. That was really bizarre. Now I'm trying to recover that lost board, but I can't figure out where the boards are actually stored. I assume I can recover some file using my Time Machine but I have no idea where the files are. I can't find any boards using Siri. Where are the files?

Freeform board missing and not synced Hello, Using Freeform for the first time on my Mac, I turned iCloud sync on. I worked on a board for a few hours and realised the board wasn't showing on my iPhone. I tried forcing the sync on both iPhone and Mac but it still wasn't showing. I disabled and re-enabled iCloud sync and the board I was working on disappeared. I can't find it anywhere because it seems it didn't sync with iCloud. Please tell me there is a way to retrieve it somewhere ? Thanks a lot Adrien

Do you have a backup? You might want to look for your missing files there
