I followed your steps but i don't see my user name (it has many documents). Please tell me what type of document it is, the size of it and his real name, because i don't know which one is my save data

I followed your steps and i find a file folder named "549C5CD6", iI clicked on it and appeared a DAT file named "cfg.dat" and a VLC media file (.bin) named "pc_settings". Which one is my save file and why does my PC keeps not finding my save file?

Under or next to the .bin file you should see SGTAxxxxx and SGTAxxxxx.bak (the x's are a number mine are 50000) If you have auto save switched on you will see a second one with a different last digit. These files are your saved games.

I don't have those files, only "cfg.dat" (DAT file) and "pc_settings" (VLC media file (.bin) :(

those files are in the same main folder where you put your custom music, "Documents\Rockstar Games\GTA V\Profles\"

XD If you don't have them, the files are lost... this game doesn't save in the cloud, you need do backups of that folder before format, copy that data from your old computer to the new one... if not is lost ...

Yea, GTA V does not have cloud sync, as far as story mode goes... GTA Online, your stuff is saved on Social Club's servers.
