OS X Server: "The document 'file name' is on a volume that does not support permanent version storage" alert

What has caused this to happen. New version of old pages / numbers docs not saving in cloud or goggle drive. Old version remains. Never happened before.

Any ideas?

The document [name here] is on a volume that does not support permanent version storage I am running Pages v8.2 on a Macbook Air with OS 10.14.6 Mojave. I am working with multiple Pages documents stored locally on the internal hard drive and not residing on any cloud server. One, and only one, of these documents is suddenly, as of today, giving me this message about "permanent version storage" when I attempt to close it; multiple other recent Pages documents, created at about the same time and stored in the same folder on the same internal hard drive, do not show this message upon closing. All these documents contain tables, if that's somehow relevant. Am I in danger of losing this document if I go ahead and close it? Why is this only happening to a single document? Is it corrupted somehow, should I try to create a copy of it? What do I do here? ETA: I copied the document and created a second version of it, and saved that and closed it without receiving that message. I then went ahead and closed the original, reopened it and saw that it appeared complete and unchanged, and re-closed it and didn't get that message. Sunspots? Gremlins? Because Apple?...

Old Pages New Pages Hello Readers, I had to give up my MacBook Pro mid 2012 and now use MBPro 2015. The older Pages documents are transferred but won't open. Message: 'file is not in the correct format'. I now have both Pages versions, 4.3 and 10.10 but the new version doesn't open my older documents. Is there a solution to this?

Can't save files or documents onto a USB hard drive since Big Sur 11.5.2 - Even tried another MacBook Hi! Since I updated my Macbook to macOS Big Sur 11.5.2 I can't save files onto a USB hard drive. I've tried multiple hard drives, even tried another MacBook Pro 2020 (mine is a 2017-version), nothing works, it says "The document "[name of the document]" could not be saved." The weird part is that sometimes it works, depending on the filename, and sometimes it doesn't. It's specifically TextEdit-files and Pages-files. It has nothing to do with the file extension, tried that. I've also tried to erase/format all the USB drives, nothing helps. My observation is that I can create a TextEdit file directly onto the USB named for example "test". When I go into the saved file I can edit and save it. But if I change the name to "test.rtf" (which I could do before without any problems) the error appears. Besides this another kind of window pops up which says "The document “[name of the document]” is on a volume that does not support permanent version storage."? If I try to open the file with another application, Sublime Text for example, it works without any problem, with or without the file extension. And yes, I've tried all of the "basic" solutions like restarting my computer, formatting the USB, changing USB-adapter dongle and so on, nothing works. It wasn't like this before the update. Why is this happening? Thank you!
