Can’t duplicate Keynote presentations on iPad.

When I try to duplicate my Keynote presentation I get the following error: “The operation could not be completed. The file could not be opened.” I am able to open the file and edit it without issue. It’s stored on Google Drive. I have a new iPad with plenty of space.


Any idea what the issue might be?

For various technical reasons, you may not be able to directly duplicate the Keynote presentation within your Google Cloud storage (i.e., an “in-situ” duplication of a file stored in Google Cloud/Drive).


Consider creating a copy of the file - stored either locally on the iPad, or in iCloud - and then attempt to duplicate the file.
