Hi Figma team,

 

I need to gain access to my old projects from my previous job. Ive tried logging in with my old email address [redacted by moderator to remove personal information] but only some of my projects are showing. They were saved in another team either titled L33 or by my name but these options do not show when i log in.

 

Please could someone advise on how to retrieve them as I am trying to make a portfolio and im very worried that ive lost my last 8 years of work!

Hey ​@Slewpreme — welcome to Figma Forum. I’m glad we got in touch here.

Losing access to any file is no small thing, particularly when you’re pulling your portfolio together. While I can’t access or share account-specific details from our public forums, there are a couple of things we can check together that may help narrow this down:

If those steps don’t surface the missing files, the next helpful signal would be any direct URLs to them. You may be able to find links in your browser history or by reaching out to former collaborators who had access. With a file URL, I can help route this to our Product Support team for a deeper review.

Lastly, just a heads up that I removed some personal information from your original post to help protect your privacy and account security. Thanks for your understanding.

Let me know what you find, and we’ll take it from there. 🙏🏻

Hi Tom thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

 

I was using the desktop app so I dont know if i would be able to access the history.

Ive logged into my old account and the team they would have been saved to is not there. The account was downgraded a couple of months ago so if i was to upgrade this would I regain access to that team?

Passing it onto the Product support team would be great thank you. Im just worried Ive lost all my work!

 

Cheers

Lewis
