Please Help -- Moving Project to New Computer

Hello everybody,

I'm trying to move a project from an old computer to my new computer. I made a package of my project, put it on Google Drive, and brought to my new computer. I made a new scene and opened the package in that new scene. All of the assets that I used in the scene on the old computer are in the new computer when I open on the new computer (including the cinemachines and all of their movements/keyframe animations, but otherwise, the scene is empty except for the main camera and the directional light. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. PLEASE HELP! THANK YOU!!

 

When you did export, have you select current scene / opened scene with its dependencies? Or you could export everything. Then compress it. I.e. zip, for uploading.

 

Typically to move a project you'd just copy the entire project folder.

If you made a new scene, of course there would just be a directional light and camera. That's what new scenes look like. You'd have to open your old scene to see the contents of that old scene.

 

Yes, I always just use a direct folder copy.

 

All I know is that when I sent the Unity package to my teacher, he was able to open it, and now I can't

 

Then don't use a package, but the recommendations offered here.

 

If the project is too large, don't copy the Library or Temp folders, as those are rebuilt by Unity. If that's too much, make a zip of the rest.

 

Agreed, no need for the Library folder and can save a ton of space in your zip file.

 

Normally when importing a new package it will automatically remain on the scene in the new project until you go into your folders and open the scene that came along with the package!
