So, my External Hard Drive crapped out on me and I have to get a new one. Is there any way I can see what games I have downloaded here so I can redownload them on my new hard drive?

not from this site, i doubt every link you clicked on from here is logged Clueless1.png

crapped out could mean a few things tho, if your pc can still "see" the external drive is connected, even if it cant access the data ...
(check disk management, the drive could show as unallocated data or uninitialized disk) then you can try repairing it with testdisk, or recovering files with photorec, or just seeing what game .exe's were on there.

may be easier to use if you don't like command line stuff, but isn't as powerful, YMMV and i believe it only works with windows based filesystems (NTFS, ExFAT,)

Well, it happened after the dogs got into my room and knocked the drive off my desk on the floor. Now it won't even show up. I will try what you suggested, but don't have high hopes.

Download History from your Browser could still have the Data.

Probably because most of the stuff I download through Megasync, it doesn't show up in my browsers download history. Maybe I can check if there is a way to see the Megasync download history though so thanks for giving me an idea of where else to look.

Edit: Unfortunately, can't see anything older than 30 days there either.

Unfortunately that is what I figured also, and I'm not good enough with hardware to do that. But on the bright side, it was nearing the end of it's life cycle anyway, most external drives last around 3-4 years and this one was right in the middle of that so...New one it is and if I have to I will just start making a new folder on the new drive.
