Hello!

I'm having a hard time locating my file offline in our family PC. We've been encountering internet connection (DSL) issues the past few days and unfortunately, our family PC cannot connect yet to a wifi connection. So, Im stuck trying to figure out how to access the draw.io file I've been doing for the past weeks. Before we encountered the connection problems, I was not able to save the project in the google drive nor keep a copy via downloading it in the local storage. I've only saved it in the browser as it's the most convenient for me then since there was a problem saving it in google drive. I really need that file badly and I just need to access the saved file in the browser, which I assume is also saved somewhere in the PC, and transfer it into my laptop so that I can continue working on it again. May I know what directory in the computer does draw.io save a project when one chooses browser to save it?

I badly need the project and I need it ASAP. I hope this gets answered immediately.

The file is actually stored within the browser. Try clicking here https://www.draw.io/?mode=browser and click on "Open existing diagram". The file should appear in that dialog (you need to use the same machine and account with which the diagram was saved). Note that clearing cookies in the browser will delete the diagram, too, which is why using browser for saving diagrams is not recommended. See https://support.draw.io/display/DO/Selecting+Storage for details.
