Hi,

I haven’t found any clear answers and I searched in my mac so here is my request.  
1 • What is the exact address to synced files  
2 • Locally, on my mac, where are my files

Thanks a lot.

I frequently store complete versions on and off line of: /Users/NN/Library/Containers/com.shapr3d.shapr/Data/Documents/workspaces Maybe you can find an equivalent path in Windows in a backup. (To restore just a specific previous workspace I find the one I need in the folder (some clue is in the folders and time stamps). Then go off-line for safety…

BKE,  
Thanks to your answer, I found the path where the projects are stored in my Mac.I also make backups with Carbon Copy Cloner and found old projects.  
Thanks.
