my recent data flushed/gone.

[to3dornottobe]

Over the course of the passed few years I've had my share of issues with the cloud synchronisation. CAM Libraries not being synched, cloud tool libraries not keeping track and the flushes of 'my recent data' numerous times

It was starting to look like something untill a few weeks back.  the 'my recent data' is all over the  place, resetting to 0, files not showing up i'm sure off i've used. suddenly the last 10 projects i've most recently used are missing again. 

It's a very basic feature that should work without any issues in my opinion. Internet connection here is fine, I patiently wait before closing Fusion.

Anybody else suffering this issue?

Yep, "My Recent Data" has been wonky for quite some time. Sometimes it will briefly show the correct list but then it will quickly refresh and show me stuff that I worked on months ago. I've brought this up several times, but it didn't seem to go anywhere....

Yep, that's exactly what's happening here. refresh a few times and you can see all the items pop up and disappear again. I was thinking about taking that folder  I appreciate your feedback, it's good to know it's not an isolated case on my side. Perhaps it's more stable if you work on 1 workstation only, but I'm working on several workstations. Proper synching can't be too hard. I occasionally also notice that when working on a file, saving it, doesn't mean that it appears in the recent menu. This is not reproducible, but it just happens from time to time. 'my recent data' doesn't seem to be a name fit for the job.

Well, fwiw, I've been working on only one computer for the last few years, so it's not limited to folks that use multiple stations. While I do have other computers running Fusion, they also have different accounts so I can run simultaneously.

It just went down again, My recent is gone again, back to a point it makes no sense at all. The cloud is messed up.. If you make a cloud based solution, a basic feature like a database should be the least of a users worry. 

It's bugging me for YEARS now.. It was sort of OK, but recently it's more unstable than Elon Musks vision on cryptocurrency. Please solve this annoyance. 

Opened a case.

Do you happen to know what files are being used for this 'my recent files' feature? is that an XML/Json? I see a folder with all the f3d files etc. I've recently used. Perhaps there is some flag in some file that needs to be changed or so?

I have a cloud based back-up service, I can use this to host these files myself to get rid of the corrupt backups of autodesk.

This area is out of my domain, but I'm sending this up the chain, hopefully get some feedback for you

Don't know if you recognize this too; when Fusion starts it starts in a random folder you haven't used in ages. And sometimes also in 'my recent data'. Most of the time it flips its middle finger and give you a run on the one armed bandit.
