Are documents in the encrypted supposed to be editable? Or is the encrypted folder intended to be a backup for files that are not going to be updated, but need to be stored? I had never experienced not having file owner permissions to edit my documents or file save errors (while using Mega for example). I am unfortunately having this same problem with files not in the encrypted folder.
Edit: I wanted to specify that I am having the same access issues when opening google docs downloads in Mega but not the same issue when I create a new document and try to edit it. I am able to edit my documents if they are saved in Mega but not Icedrive. In Mega, if I save the .doc file as .odt I am able to work on the file for a bit, and am successfully able to save changes, but this is not consistent. I’m specifying Mega because I don’t know whether the Icedrive encrypted folder is the difference between Mega working and Icedrive not. Although, I don’t know why the unencrypted Icedrive folder wouldn’t work if that were the case.
I am using icedrive because I want to remove/move all my stuff from google/google drive, and I liked the option of the encrypted folder. I downloaded everything in one zip file from google drive and then uploaded to ice drive. I was using Apache Open Office but switched to LibreOffice because I didn’t realize until recently that AOO was not being updated anymore, and I hoped to be able to find help in a more active community. Unfortunately I am having the same problems with both AOO and LO.
These are the AOO errors.
The LO errors are essentially the same.
I have hidden files turned on and there are no lock files. I set my .odt files to bypass windows security but I am not sure what else to do in terms of antivirus protections potentially blocked access. I also don’t want to disable antivirus protections to the point of not leaving any protective measures. I don’t want to tamper with it too much because I am following various forum instructions but don’t actually “know” what I am doing on my own., and I don’t want to create more problems for myself.
I received this error once from Icedrive:
[date/time] Upload failed for file [file name].odt: Transfer failed: cache file not found
[date/time] Upload failed for [file name].odt to /Encrypted/[folder name]: cache file not found ([if this is necessary info for troubleshooting i will put it back in].tmp)
I can’t edit my old files and when I create a totally new file, I can save it once and give the document a name, but I can’t edit “over” it or save any changes/progress.
I’m using Windows 10 and the LO app is up to date. I’m using the Icedrive desktop app (PRO I). I also had a problem where I wasn’t able to move files between folders on the desktop app and I had to use the web application because I didn’t have rights/authorizations to make that change in the desktop app for some reason.
Please let me know what other information is necessary to troubleshoot. Thank you.
