Documents Suddenly Read-Only
I see others have had this concern, but there's a lot to sort through and I'm somewhat baffled...
I have folders in Dropbox (accessed via Finder - never had an issue with this) in which I save working documents. All begin as read & write (no adjustments to this setting made by me at ANY time, EVER) . After working with some, and saving new writing etc, I then sometimes reopen them (later) to find I cannot alter them. The yellow bar at the top says "read only" BUT...it still says "read & write" under Sharing & Permissions in Get Info for myself. (There is also a "staff" and an "everyone" listed, both say "read only." However, NOTHING was changed by me, and I can' t imagine that matters. I tried changing those on a document or two and it had zero effect).
I had to create a new folder in my Documents (HD) which doesn't totally work (all my related folders are in Dropbox...so I'd like to figure this out).
The error attached is what I see when trying to "Duplicate" in effort to see if I can get things working again. I have changed ZERO within settings, and I haven't fiddled around with folders, and none of this has been a problem until recently (no updates that I am aware of, but these things think on their own nowadays!)...so this is really out of the blue, and very disruptive. Again, I see others have had a similar issue - viewing Get Info hasn't told me much.
I WILL note I have multiple documents with similar names (I label them with 1, 2, 3 and so on, as they are more of the same thing. If I had just one document, it would be massive). Not sure if this would have bearing (shouldn't!) but, just in case...
Any ideas would be appreciated! Thankful for this forum!
