Paperspace\Gradient missing files

Hi everyone, I am new here - taking the course as a part of my job.
I was working yesterday on a notebook i have in gradient, I created a costum dataset and made two pynb notebooks. Today when i opened it everything is gone, only the folder remains, but it shows now files. The course-v3 folder is also gone - I can’t do the terminal command cd course-v3 since there isn’t such a folder. This is weird and I dont know how to solve it, would love some help. I also sent a message to their costumer service I hope to get an answer soon.
Thanks!

Switch providers in my opinion. I had multiple instances of them losing my data and others have reported the same.

Could you recommend on one of the other providers maybe then?
thanks

Hi Elihu hope all is well!
I suggest going to this link here https://course.fast.ai/#getting-started and choosing the one which is most applicable to your own requirements. I use Colab as it currently free, has a good following on the fastai forum and I have had no issues that I couldn’t resolve by myself or with the help of the forum. It does have a 12 hour session limit.
I can’t comment on the others as I haven’t used them.

Hi Elihu
It may definitely be time to change provider.

My paperspace account got hacked yesterday, beware!
