Storyline: Invalid or Corrupt File
Help Needed to Recover My File
Hello everyone,
I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out for assistance with a file I was working on. Unfortunately, I am unable to open the file after finishing my design, and I’m concerned about losing my work.

If anyone has any tips or methods for recovering the file, I would greatly appreciate your help.
Thank you in advance for your support!
Best regards,

Hi EliasBishr,
Thanks for reaching out!
I'm sorry to hear you're receiving this error message and I understand how frustrating this can be. I'm happy to help!
I've seen this error when another process or application is accessing the file that you're trying to open. You can try moving the Storyline 360 project file to a local directory on your computer, then re-upload it to the shared drive. We suggest editing your projects on a network drive because this increases the risk of data corruption.
I hope this helps!

The file is on the local device, in my computer not on the network, and it hasn't been shared yet
