How can we help you?

Where is my data stored?

In OfficeTime, choose File-Show File… to see your file.

If that’s not possible, your data is normally in the OfficeTime support folder.

Data File

All versions of OfficeTime keep a data file which is normally called OfficeTime Data.otd unless you renamed it. By default it lives in the OfficeTime support folder. If you used OfficeTime Version 1 or you moved it, it may in a different location like Documents or Documents/OfficeTime

Backups

OfficeTime normally backups up your data. Choose File->Show Backups menu to locate them.

You can see the backups manually

Mac Go to the OfficeTime support folder

Windows Go to Documents/OfficeTime

iPhone/iPad Go to Settings, Restore From Backup

Cloud sync

Your data is stored in 4 places:

  • As a database file .dat file in the OfficeTime support folder.
  • As a data file ending in .otd per above.
  • As backups per above.
  • In the cloud. You just need to sign in on any device.

Finding lost data files

Mac

Go to the Finder, select File->Find menuĀ  Then type

.otd

To find more files, click the little + button in the upper right and then on the left where it says  Kind is Any, change it to System Files -> Are Included.  You may have to choose Other first to enable that option.

Windows

Go to the Start bar and in the search field type

ext:.otd

(Note the colon then period)

Finding your last used data file

OfficeTime keeps a log of every file you use. You can open this in a text editor, scroll to the bottom, and look for a line that might look like this:

New file loaded. OfficeTime 2.0.594 Windows 10 Build 19043 (64 bit) C:\Users\mshannon\Documents\OfficeTime\OfficeTime Data.otd 

The log file is called OfficeTime Sync Log.txt and you can find it in the OfficeTime support folder.
