VW2020 - Project Sharing say file is Read-Only


specbebop

Question

I am trying to set up Project Sharing on one of our files. The file is stored and synced using Google Drive. On initial set of project sharing I get the following error message on the final step:

 

"The disk drive or file is marked read-only. Please unmark it and try again."

 

If I move the file to my desktop, outside the google drive folder, it does not give me that error message and a Project File is created successfully.

 

The permissions on my google drive folder and the files inside are identical to the files on my desktop, Read & Write for me, Read Only for Staff and Everyone.

 

We have successfully used Project Sharing with Google Drive in the past.

Hello,

I have the same problem but with dropbox. Did you find a way ? 

 

Here what I do : 

 

Option 1

* I select and paste the file in the dropbox folder . Open the file and than   // file>project sharing  //   And i get this :

Even after asking the dropbox assistance.  I can't find where the read-only is.

 

* And in the folder i have this :

I can't open the (.vwxp) file and that the last thing i can do.

 

I have search all day but i still have no clue how to solve it. 

 

Option 2

* I take the file out of the dropbox and on my hard drive i create the "project sharing" (.vwxp )  that way it works .

 

* I create a work file, save it on dropbox and it works and the syncronisation with the master file ( which is on my hard drive) works perfectly.

 

* BUT when i do a copy for the intervenant he cant  work on it( because the master is on the hard drive so not connected to internet) . 

 

* I tried to take the Master  ( .vwxp ) in the dropbox folder. I manually locate the project File but here what i get :

I have a good connection wifi and Ethernet 

 

I hope everything is clear enough. 

I already got in touched with @Christiaan I hope we can find a solution . 

 

Take care and stay safe
