Hello! I'm really struggling with my new ViewSonic board. I spend a great deal of time creating a lesson at home via MyViewBoard's whiteboard. It saved the file as .qb. I also tried converting them using the "File Conversion Request" and it converted them to .olf format. However, there seems to be a disconnect. I cannot open the .olf files on the online version, and I can't see any of the files (.olf or .qb) on my ViewSonic board. HELP! I have all of my files in Google Drive but they just don't look the same in the online version (more files are visible) versus the ViewSonic (very few files visible, if any). Any ideas?

.olf Files not showing up in Google Drive on ViewBoard
I converted a couple of files from .notebook to .olf using the MyViewBoard conversion tool. I then downloaded them to my Google Drive. However, when I access my Google Drive via the magic box on my classroom's ViewSonic board, they are not showing up. It's as if the ViewSonic cannot read them; all I see are image and A/V files. The recent update promised that " "users can now use .olf files across myviewboard solutions." I don't find that to be the case.

RE: .olf vs. .qb
@kavi-lo-myviewboard-com Thanks for the reply. The original file extension for the "Sorting.notebook.olf" was .notebook. It was a SMARTBoard file that I created years ago. Unfortunately, I do not have a Windows computer. I have a Chromebook at school and a Mac at home. I don't believe clicking on the Windows icon would help me at home on my Mac, will it?

RE: .olf vs. .qb
@kavi-lo-myviewboard-com Thanks for the reply. Is there any way to covert the .qb file created in the online version? I would like to covert it to .olf format, but I don't believe that my Whiteboard for Android will even open those files. You mentioned that .olf is now supported by Whiteboard for Android, but I have several .olf files that were converted via the "File Conversion Request" but I am unable to open them on my ViewSonic board. Is there a specific way to open them up? In the first screenshot here,
you can see the two .olf files in my Google Drive. In the second screenshot here
notice that I cannot see them on my ViewBoard. Why can't I see even the .olf files if that's the supported file format? Can I only create lessons on my ViewSonic board? It seems very counterproductive because I cannot bring my giant board home with me to work. Hoping to be able to figure this out by Monday when I being lessons using this.
