[MLO] Re: Read Only or Locked File
I realize now that the issue likely is what Alyona (MLO Support) indicated. My desktop was not located on my local drive. It was a network desktop, setup so if I logged into another computer, I would still see the same desktop. I have since moved the MLO file to my local drive. Hopefully this resolves the issue.

[MLO] Re: Read Only or Locked File
I thought that was the issue last year, so I moved my MLO file to my desktop. The program files are on my local hard drive as well. I just received the error message again today and am locked out of my file.

[MLO] Re: Read Only or Locked File
It looks like you are using a network drive which is inaccessible sometimes. Or is the folder where MLO files are stored synced with Google Drive or similar services? If so, please do not store MLO files in such a folder. The last update of Google Drive has changed the mechanism of how they are backing up files. As a result, Google Drive often blocks the file before the MLO manages to record it. We are waiting for an update from Google Drive and still checking whether we can do something from our side.
