Save failed because the file could not be written to

Hi,

I get this error message when I try to save some of my projects:

"Save failed because the file could not be written to."

For example I got two pricing list project that are exactly the same besides the prices. One of them I can save but the other I get this error message.

What is going on?

I'm on the latest version (2 2.1.1)

Hi @Qeonand Welcome to the Forums,

Are both files being saved to the same location?  Normally we'd see this error when saving to a networked drive, external drive or Cloud storage.  If you are, are you able to save the file locally?

Hi, thanks for your answer.

I tried to save the files to another location and it works for now. But I have done this before and it has worked for a while until the same thing suddenly happens again. But I hope it works this time.

Why is it not possible to store to a Cloud storage?

It is possible but there can be issues if the connection to the Cloud drive is lost or if something else is syncing to the Cloud at the same time.

There have been some changes made to the Saving process in the current beta which should help avoid/cut down on these errors from appearing.  So this is being worked on.

I just got this error message: "Save failed. Changes to file are not allowed."

And when I clicked OK the document crashed.

 

The Publisher file are stored locally. It seems that I am getting a lot a different errors when saving now and it feels not safe to work on something when I know it could be some error anytime and I loose my progress.

Just replying here as I've been fighting this issue as well and I'm glad to see that you guys are tackling it.  In the interest of providing more information, I'm not able to save to a local OWC RAID array (Using an Accelsior 4M2 https://www.owc.com/solutions/accelsior-4m2).  Windows 11.  Error message:

"Save failed because the file could not be written to."
