Hi @praveenprem are you using Hoppscotch with an account?

@thetronjohnson Unfortunately not, for security reasons I'm not allowed to use anything that logs activity to the cloud. It was all saved on the device and I didn't even bother making a backup. I've assumed it saved the data to the file system.

Hi @praveenprem, can you confirm whether you cleared the browser's local storage?

Hi @liyasthomas I don't recall clearing up the browser storage, but I'm using the Arc browser with multiple spaces so not sure if the app decided to change the space its using 😕

Hoppscotch by default store and persist all data in browser’s localstorage. Since cloud sync was disabled in your case — chances are locally stored data is wiped out manually or via any extension or browser workflows.

We’d be happy to assist you if this happens again. Let me know when f you can reproduce the same behaviour again and let us know.

Thanks @liyasthomas, I'll update the thread of this happens again. I'll make sure to backup the stuff this time 🤣

The same to you. I just updated the version from the last version of 24 to the latest version of 25, which caused the old data in the software to no longer display, and then after updating the version back, it recovered, which seems to be a compatibility issue.

Also have this issue. Downgrading 25.2.2-0 => 24.12.0-0 helped.

Workaround: export data in 24.12 and import in 25.2

EDIT: Workaround doesn't work, importing the data forgets all data in individual requests (URL, name, ... )
EDIT2: Downgrade also doesn't help, shows only the corrupted collections with missing data

I got the same problems on here. when I upgrade the app to v2025.3.0, lost all the collection data.

Can we find a way to persist these data on local disk instead persist on browse local storage?
