Just moved all my files from google drive forgetting that tiller files must remain there. My tiller files were backed up so I moved them back to drive, however, I get a message that the file is deleted when trying to open one. Not sure what to do???

@tkutrich Is it possible for you open a previous version history of your sheet to see if that gets it working? I’ve included instructions on how to do this below.

If you are able to get a previous version of your sheet open, perhaps you can try linking it. Here are steps on doing that.

If you have deleted the files from the trash folder in Drive, then you will need to contact Google and have them run their retrieval tool to get the files back. If all this happened within the last 30 days, then you will get everything back.

I just went through this recently so I speak from experience.

Let me know if you need further help.

> @heather Here is the short story. I deleted my tiller files permanently out of Google Drive. I have a backup but when i click on it i get a 404 error…the requested url was not found on this server. that’s all we know… When i try to open the file from the tiller console i get this message… all i really did was move my tiller files from one folder to another folder on my computer and then i later deleted permanently what was in google drive. i am moving from google drive to dropbox…
