Is there some way to set up Time Machine to backup to Dropbox? I'm mobile on my MBP and travel all the time so I don't know how I could use Time Machine either since I don't have a local drive it could update to. Alas, there's not even any way to do that going forward since this is a system file and I don't know how I could put it on my Dropbox and point Notes to it? I wish I had these stored on Dropbox, as Dropbox saves the last 30 days of versions of every file. If there was just some kind of versioning where I could go back and retrieve the very last version of those 3 files, that would save me. And they were last modified at 1:21pm yesterday, exactly the time when I lost the files/they were overwritten. Is there some way/some app I could use to drill back and get the earlier version from today and then replace that folder with the older recovered one? The Get Info shows that folder was modified at the time I lost the notes. But I would literally kiss the feet of whoever could get my Notes back.įrom what I understand, the Notes are stored locally at Library > Group Containers > I figured I'm royally screwed and they are gone forever. Are they stored on my MBP locally anywhere? I'm afraid to restart my MBP right now as I'm hoping maybe they are stored in a temp file somewhere locally? It seems just poof, they are gone in a millisecond.

IS THERE ANY WAY TO REVERSE THIS? I would literally pay $1,000 right now if could get those notes back.

Except what it did was instantly delete everything on my MBP Notes and start populating with the old Notes from iCloud. So I went into Settings on my MBP, to iCloud and unchecked Notes and then rechecked it, hoping that would jumpstart the update process and send the notes on my MBP to iCloud. I noticed that the version on differed from what was on my MacBook Pro. It appears the notes were not updating to iCloud for 10 days and now just started updating again, but my Mac first erased all the Notes and then added back the old versions from iCloud. Think it's about 60 hours of worth of work that has disappeared. I think I just lost the last 10 days worth of my Notes, upon which was an unbelievable amount of data.
