Unlocking Excel workbook retrieved from the cloud
How can I unlock a locked Excel file retrieved from the Cloud: When I send a protection locked Excel workbook to OneFile and then retrieve it I get the message 'this file is locked and cannot be unlocked'
I know the password to unlock it but it is impossible to even enter the password.

Hi PLPL75
Microsoft has implemented some new security options for files that are downloaded from the internet. If you get a red warning message above the worksheet, then this is probably the issue in your case.
If that's the case, you have to open the Windows Explorer, right-click on your file and open the properties window. There you could select the option "Allow"
(sorry, I use a German version, where it say "Zulassen" instead of "Allow"
