SAS did not save

[sco77171]

I have been working on a project for several days. I always save the project to Dropbox so I can work on it from my school computer or my laptop. I clicked save several times throughout the day today, but after exiting out and trying to go back in, it doesn't have anything saved since yesterday. I realized my Dropbox was full so i deleted some stuff to clear up space, but it is still nowhere to be found. 

 I looked up the auto recover file that I found on line (which is supposed to autosave every ten minutes) but it hadnt auto saved since yesterday as well. 

Is there any way to recover my work? 

Thanks for your help.

Are you using automatic syncing? If so, unfortunately I suspect this is not a SAS issue but a DropBox issue. SAS Studio and UE does not require an internet connection if working locally, DropBox does. But if your DropBox connection is lost and it updates after it doesn't always do it correctly. 

The only possibility of recovery that I can think of is to see if your OS (hopefully Windows) has automatic versioning on as well. YOU MUST TRY THIS ON THE COMPUTER YOU DID THE WORK. So find the parent folder, right click, previous versions. Find a version from when you think you were done or see if any have your code. The previous versions can take a few minutes to load. Another possibility but again, remote, is to get your session log which has all of the code used historically. It won't have everything but it's better than nothing. If you've restarted SAS Studio this won't help :(.

I've had this happen when using FileSync apps between computers (experience :() so I know do an explicit upload when I'm done a project using the Web interface rather than allow automatic syncing.
