Thanks, I was able to recover some of the files (they were the important ones at least).
I am having a different issue now, and wondering if related.
I can get all the notes to sync with Dropbox. I have one source (personal MacBook) that has the notes I want. I cleared out the notes from the other two devices (IOS and work MacBook), so they are completely clear. I also cleared out DropBox, so everything is nice and clean. I turn on sync with DropBox and go through the auth process. The cloud image comes for a little bit, then goes away (I assume it finished, there aren’t that many notes afterall). When I go to sync , 2 of 3 projects get created, but no notes.
Any ideas?
