At 4 kilobytes download size (according to Mac OSX), your file has been corrupted and you have lost your data, I hope you have a backup somewhere. I renamed the ODS file extension to zip, tried to unzip it, I get an error message that the file is not a valid zip file. All ODF files should be valid ZIP containers. So, you have a dead file, or your upload link does not reflect the true size of the file you have on your disk. What file size does your file system report for this file ? Can you rename the file extension to zip and then try to unzip it (with an ad-hoc archiver program (winzip, 7zip, ark, fileroller, unarj, etc). If you get the same results, then your file is definitely dead. Why that might be is impossible for us to say for certain, a number of factors could be involved : - LibreOffice app crashed and died suddenly when you were working on the file ; - your operating system crashed and died on you suddenly when your were working on the file ; - power outage when working on the file ; - a virus ou malware is running amok in your file system ; - you were writing to the file via a network share or an external USB disk ; - LibreOffice forgot to save your data or incompletely synched your data when you quit the app - and yes, that does and can happen... - gremlins...
