Error message "Cannot find central directory" when trying to add file to project

I use SDL Trados Studio 2014 Freelance on a Macbook Air via Parallels.

I recently copied my files onto iCloud Drive due to lack of space. I got an error message saying I had too many files to do this, but the files were transferred to iCloud Drive anyway, however no copies were left on my Mac. I subsequently installed a larger hard disk and used a Time Machine backup to recover my files.

I'm now having constant problems using Studio. The latest one is the above.

Any help much appreciated.

    I didn't screw up, Apple did since I spoke to a Senior Adviser who told me Time Machine does not restore Parallels in Windows OS, but in Mac OS.

    Well, from my perspective it's you who screwed up, since it should be you who should know how things work and what exactly you are doing (but again, today's computer/software producers and especially in the Apple world are trying to do the exact opposite and convince users that everything "just magically works" with a single click...).

    For example, I would personally never believe that Mac backup program (i.e. designed to backup and restore the Mac native environment) would somehow magically restore content of Windows virtual machines...

    I'm afraid none of us can really answer your questions since we don't know how exactly were/are your files organized (where did you have your projects, TMs, termbases, etc. stored, how were the paths organized and how were these linked together and/or to the projects, etc.).
    This is all your own responsibility.
