Mass effect legendary edition cloud storage and HD memory issues lost my saves

Question

&nbsp;&nbsp; I have a concern regarding cloud storage and OC storage. After investing several hours in Mass Effect 1 legendary edition. I exited the game after saving my progress, then left for some time. I logged back into steam and EA and loaded the game. The prompt window popped up, stating a discrepancy between the cloud storage and the one on my HD. I chose the one that was more up-to-date (the cloud). After loading the game, I discovered the cloud save was nowhere close to where I left off...it was at the beginning of my gaming session of that day (6 hours or so). I panicked and looked through the HD logs (going into the ME1 save filed under BioWare, mass effect legendary edition,etc). Every save file was changed to the time and date I logged back into the game. It appears every saved file has now been changed to the new one. Is there any way to recover my previous files?&nbsp;

First, make a backup of your Save folder as it is now, because what I suggest might overwrite the existing saves as well.

Go to your Origin game Library &gt; right click MELE &gt;&nbsp; Game properties &gt; Cloud Save.

If you are lucky the box beneath &gt; "Restore last local saved game" is not greyed out and you can restore the last&nbsp;local save in this way.
If so, start the game and and make another save and back this save files up as well.

If the box is greyed out, then there is now way to bring the save games back.
