Stolen notebook - is a project recovery possible in my situation?

Unity Engine
1

Hello guys,

last year my notebook was stolen, and Iost all my game archives (sigh).

I have never had hopes on recovering my projects, but yesterday I saw that the project names and IDs are on my Unity Dashboard.

Well, I have never uploaded them to the cloud, but the fact that their names and IDs appeared there, gave me bits of hope. Is there any way I could retrieve something from my projects, uniquely from their IDs on the dashboard? I think that the assets may be gone forever, but I was hoping that at least the scripts could be retrieved someway. Note that, although the projects are listed on my dashboard, they don’t appear on the new Unity I have downloaded on my new notebook, and neither I can find an option to refresh the Unity Hub so it would appear there (though I am already logged in my account there).

I don’t have much hope on this, but I thought that maybe the community on this forum could enlighten me if there is any way.

Thanks in advance!

Regards

Unless you used Collaborate, I believe there is very little of your project in Unity’s system other than the name and some metadata about the project.

I can imagine your pain of losing all of your projects. In the future, I highly recommend the use of cloud-based version control software for all of your projects. Some examples are Unity Collaborate, GitHub, and BitBucket. That will make sure your projects are safe if anything happens to your computer.
