I am currently using Openstudio 1.14 on a Windows 10 laptop. I backup my OSM files on google drive. But sometimes the last file I saved fails to synch, and it seems that instead of remaining in the Temp directory, either Openstudio or Drive simply discards the file. I save somewhat frequently so this is a few hours of work lost instead of a few days, but this is the third time that OS/drive "dropped" my file, and I don't know what causes this or how to prevent it. Strangely enough, it looks like when this happens, everything except the "in.osm" file gets synched successfully, and it ends up in a folder named after the file I tried to save. For instance, if I saved the file as "erc_renovD_sizeboilers_economizerDCV_oldenvlope1_radiators9". That file does not exist anymore, but there's a folder with the same name, and in that folder, there's: "files" (folder) "run" (folder) "scripts" (folder) project (text file) project (PAT file)
When I open the 'project' text file, I see this at the end:
#

I checked the Appdata/Local/Temp folder, and the "Openstudio.Ms4452" folder no longer exists, so I can't recover "in.osm" out of there. "in.osm" didn't make it to erc_renovD_sizeboilers..../files either. I checked.
Are there any windows/OpenStudio experts who can help with this? Is there anywhere else I can go to recover the file, or does it get lost permanently when Drive fails to sync it?
