Hi, I am getting an error accessing my file "This is an unassigned draft file.” I need help trying to re-access it or to see who is currently the admin of the file. I thought it was a file I created in a group project, but I am now receiving this error. Thanks for the help!

Hi ​@jeiler

 

I understand that you’re seeing the “This is an unassigned draft file” message when trying to access your file.

 

This usually means that the file is in the Drafts space of a team you’re no longer a member of. Please note that once you leave a team, you no longer have access to any files, projects, or libraries that belong to that team.

When a user is removed from a team, any draft files they owned are automatically moved to the Unassigned Drafts folder. These files can only be accessed and managed by team admins only on the Professional plan and organization admins only on the Organization or Enterprise plans

 

At this point, I recommend reaching out to an admin from the team or organization you were previously part of.

They can help recover or reassign the file by following the steps outlined in this guide: Manage drafts of removed users

 

Thanks,
