Read Only (Padlock Icon) files - OFDB 17.3.6743.1212
I am having the same issue.
This is the first library I've tried applying multiple custom columns to. Not sure if that is the problem.
It turns out that the "Required Metadata" in a column was the problem. I made the column not required and it is now syncing without the padlock (write access is allowed).
Why should we have to give one benefit for another. I need the metadat required columns, I have any user who can read items checked and none of this has worked. However, yesterday when I booted up my system for the first time I went right to my files locally and they were all available and I had changed nothing. I thought Microsoft had corrected the issue but later in the day they were back so what was that abot?
I have the same problem and even if I changed the settings to what other tell is working, I still have the Padlock. I have wondered some time, why I couldn't update my files locally, it has been working for some month ago - and I have not made any changes on the Document Library. Obveious Microsoft changes :-(
I hope that Microsoft pretty soon get this working again, whithout so many limitations. It is such a nice feature and we might need to change our plans and what we were planning to learn our users.
I was doing it on a siteassets library, I didn't add any custom columns. I think just the fact that versioning is on does it.
