That was my thinking too. But here’s what I tried to test the theory.

I saved a file on my local desktop. I messed around with the file as though I was editing it. I saved to the file. I got the same error.

I tried it again. This time, it worked without error.

I did it a couple more times. I got different results without rhyme or reason.

Then, I went to the preferences section and noticed there’s a field there that says “Path“. No clue why that’s even there. For reasons I can’t explain sometimes that path would show the local address (i.e. where the test file actually is). Sometimes it would choose to show the cloud address. Even though the file NEVER left the local desktop.

So there seems to be no rational connection between the place that you’re working from, whether it’s in the cloud or locally and that so-called Path field which could read anything. I have no idea why that is there, but it is very troubling to have to think about something obscure like that tucked away in a setting somewhere.

And yes, if you have the presence of mind to remember this, you can manually set the Path to wherever the file really is. But why on earth should you ever have to do that?

Thanks.
