Fehlermeldung mit Absturz: "Speichern ist fehlgeschlagen...."

[HansGenthe]

Speichern ist fehlgeschlagen. Grund: Eigentumsrecht der Datei konnte nicht verifiziert werden.
Das Dokument muss nun geschlossen werden.

Diese Fehlermeldung erhalte ich oft bei Affinity Publisher. Die nicht gespeicherte Arbeit ist dann verloren. Erst wenn ich Affinity schließe, kann ich die Datei neu öffnen. 

Das ist extrem lästig. Ein Grund, sich von Affinity zu treue. Wer kann mir helfen?

Where are you saving your files?

Affinity recommends saving directly to your computer's hard drive/SSD, not to the cloud, a network, or an external hard drive/SSD.

Note that with macOS files saved to Documents and Desktop are automatically synced to iCloud so even though there's a copy on your SSD the issues Affinity has with the cloud remain.

Try creating a folder directly in Users/your-user-name/ for all of your Affinity projects.

Good luck

Hello, thank you for this message. However, it is very unpleasant for me. 
Because my new Mac mini works with external storage (4 TB is hardly affordable internally). I store on this SSD drive, which is then synchronised with p-cloud.
There are no problems with any application. Do I now have to delete Affinity and go back to Adobe? Is there another solution?

Hi Hans,

Unfortunately its likely that saving / opening from your external storage is the cause of this issue. Would you be able to work on some files using your internal drive just to see if this issue reoccurs?

Thanks

For another kind of test, you might disable p-cloud synchronization temporarily, and see if the problem persists while p-cloud is inactive. If it works with p-cloud inactive, that would indicate that something in the operation of p-cloud is interfering with Affinity's access to the file. Perhaps, for example, p-cloud is locking or temporarily renaming the file while Affinity is still using it.

Thanks for thinking along and for the answers. Since the error message reminds me of access rights, I suspect it's not so much the external drive, but rather the question of synchronisation, so it has something to do with p-cloud. I'll check with www.p-cloud.com.
