<br>OK, I am getting something. I don't undertand it, but I am getting a long list Library files that end in "operation not permitted", but way at the end I am seeing references to the documents in my missing folder. It is buried in with some other, unrelated, files. Here is a copy of that part of the result:
<br>find: ./Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari.SafeBrowsing: Operation not permitted
<br>./.Trash/RE_ Hay plazas para el tour eclipse_/Theory & Practice of Acquiring a Second Language 2019/Huttlinger-TPASL-Observation#1(060219).pdf
<br>./.Trash/RE_ Hay plazas para el tour eclipse_/Theory & Practice of Acquiring a Second Language 2019/Huttlinger-TPASL-Observation#1(060219).pages
<br>./.Trash/RE_ Hay plazas para el tour eclipse_/Theory & Practice of Acquiring a Second Language 2019/Huttlinger-TPASL-Observation#1(060219).docx
<br>Claires-MacBook-Pro:~ clairehuttlinger$
<br>
<br>Those words "Theory & Practice of Acquiring a Second Language 2019" is the title of my missing folder, and "Observation#1" is the file I searched for. I don't know how it got onto the same path as the "eclipse tour", and all of it seems to be somewhere in the trash.
<br>
<br>This is most promising result yet.
<br>Any clue where to go from here?

<br>Hi Annamarie:
<br>Sooo, I backed up everything in Time Machine about a month ago, so a WAY
<br>previous version of this folder is probably there, but not the all the work
<br>I've done since.

<br>Well, backing up once a month is better than not backing up at all... *I* run
<br>an automated backup *everyday* on all the computers on my LAN (7 actual
<br>machines (AMD Linux desktop , Intel Linux laptop, MacMini (MacOSX), 4
<br>Raspberry Pis, 6 VMs (assorted Linux)). Backups are best done as often as
<br>possible. Daily is great, weekly is *probably* alright for most people.

Unfortunately I have never used iCloud.
<br>I'm afraid to back it up again until I know where this folder has gone.

<br> Look for it in your Time Machine backup. You do have one, don’t you?
<br>
<br> Annamarie
<br>
<br> P.S. Any chance it decided to be in your iCloud account?

drive? I have mysteriously lost one, and I have not emptied my trash
<br> or anything. The folder and and all the documents it contained have
<br> disappeared from every history, the trash, the finder, everywhere.
<br> Any thoughts?
