"This does not appear to be a sketchup model" everytime I open my file today

I have been working on a project for school over the past few weeks, yesterday after class I saved the project back to my thumb drive. Today when I returned and tried to open it, I get “This does not appear to be a sketchup model”. Changing the backup file did not work either. Is there any chance on recovery?

If you share it here, @colin may be able to get at least some part of it back. Depends on the nature of the damage.

Here is the file…thanks @colin.

Unfortunately, that looks like random data from your drive, and not anything like a SketchUp file.

Weird, I can open it but possibly since we are in the network.

Does this one work for you?

It appears to be identical to the first download. Do you have a file named farmHOUSE1.skb anywhere?

yes there is an .skb file as well.

I don’t see that in either of the links you gave.

Understand. I am still at school, when I get home I will try to upload them via my computer at home see if it has something to do with the school network.

Thanks.

@colin how would you recommend uploading the files for you to access them best? thanks

Anywhere that you have access to, and you can give me a link. You could include a SKP that is working ok for you, if that gets through ok then the file sharing service you’re using is not to blame for the file being corrupted.
