Projects, folders, or files are missing from Fusion

Technical Support

Issue:

Users reported that when logging in to Fusion, projects, folders, or files are missing. The Data Panel does not reflect that the data or projects are there.

The following may also be seen:

  • Hubs might be missing from the hub selection drop-down menu.
  • It may be impossible to save newly created designs.
  • Fusion might appear to be switching between two different sets of data.
  • Some files may be missing when logging in on a different computer.
  • Data Panel features such as Search, Refresh, and Open on the web may be missing or non functional.
  • Fusion may appear to have been converted into a trial version.
  • A file is missing after a failed attempt to delete an old folder with external references.
  • Files may also be missing from the Fusion Team with the message "Something went wrong. Please try again later" or "Bad Request".
  • Previous versions of designs may be missing.
  • This may be seen after switching between license types (from trial to commercial or to personal, etc.).

Causes:

  • The data was deleted. 
  • The data has not synced to the cloud.
  • Data is stored in a different Fusion Hub, project, or folder. 
  • Account has been removed from a hub/project.
  • Data is stored under a different email address.
  • Project in the Data Panel is being filtered.
  • The Autodesk Account email address has been changed.
  • Fusion is turned to Offline mode

Solution:

    The file was deleted or not properly saved/synced
    Data is stored in a different Project
    • It could be that the Data Panel is set to show only shared, pinned, or joined projects. Select "All Projects" to make sure this is not the case.

    Filter to show all projects in Fusion

    • Select the search icon in the data panel and type the design name. If the missing file shows, select the version drop-down to see the "Stored in" location.
    Search option in Fusion data panel
    • Go to the "My Recent Data" folder. If the missing file shows, select the version drop-down to see the "Stored in" location.
    • Search for the file in Fusion Teams open the file from the web using "Open in Desktop" from the file viewer.

    Note: To reorganize, right-click the thumbnail of the design and select Move. This will allow the file to be moved to the desired Project and more easily located and organized. 

    Data is stored in a different Fusion Hub
    • Switch between teams to see if the data is stored in another Hub. (Note: If the data has been shared from a Personal Hub, the data will show up in Single-User Storage rather than a Team Hub)
    • Verify your status is Active in the hub.
      1. Have the Team Hub Administrator sign in Fusion Teams.
      2. Select the profile icon in the top right and Select "Admin".
      3. Go to "Members and Roles".
      4. Confirm that the affected account has an "Active".  If they are Inactive, make them Active. See: Fusion Help | Administer team members and roles | Autodesk.
    • Verify you are a Project Member.
      1. Have the Project Admin open the project in the Data Panel or in the Fusion Teams web client.
      2. Verify that the individual is a Project Member by checking the "Project Members" tab in the web client, or the "People" tab in the data panel.
        • If not, have the Project Admin invite them to become an Editor or a Viewer in the project.
        • If projects are still not visible, ask the administrator to reinvite the affected account.

    Note: If the project Security Type is set to Secret, only Project Members will be able to see the project in the data panel.

    Data is stored in a different Autodesk Account

    Confirm being signed in using the correct account that the data is stored in or shared with:

    1. Every Fusion account is associated with a unique alphanumeric named directory, which is used to access Fusion cloud data. Manually verify how many accounts have logged into Fusion by looking at the following directories:
      • Windows (see video): C:\Users\<NAME>\AppData\Local\Autodesk\Autodesk Fusion.
      • macOS (see video): Mac HD\Users\<NAME>\Library\Application Support\Autodesk\Autodesk Fusion 360.
    2. When multiple alphanumeric folders exist, that means multiple email addresses have been signed into Fusion on that computer. Check the other accounts for the missing data.
    Reset / Repair Fusion
    1. Launch the Fusion Service Utility.
    2. "Reset" Fusion.
    3. Check if the issue is resolved.
    4. If the issue persists, "Repair" Fusion.
    If the Autodesk Account email address has recently been changed:
