Request to secure and restore my personal drafts after team removal (Urgent)

Hello Figma Support Team,

I was recently removed from a team workspace. Before my removal, I created several files within my personal profile space (Drafts). I have never shared these files with anyone, as they contain my private work and intellectual property.

Currently, these files have disappeared from my dashboard. When I attempt to access them via direct links, I receive the following error: "Current location: Another user's Drafts. You can’t move files that are in another person's Drafts."

I am highly concerned about the privacy of my data. Since these files are strictly my personal property, I explicitly request that the team administrator is not given access to them and cannot move them from the unassigned drafts archive.

Please permanently transfer these files back to my own isolated Personal Workspace where I can safely access them.

Thank you for your prompt assistance in securing my data.

Hi, ​@barbara pospelova - thanks for posting. I can appreciate your concern about your files and data privacy!

 

If you had files in your drafts prior to removal, those will be moved into the Unassigned drafts tab of the Admin of the team (you can read more about what happens when being removed from a team here). Are you in contact with the admin of your former team workspace? They’re your best point of contact as far as access to the files, so your best bet is to reach out to them since we can’t transfer the files on their behalf.
