Read Only (Padlock Icon) files - OFDB 17.3.6743.1212
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 have revert a single PC back to the old One Drive for Business (groove.exe) with the instructions below and everything is back to working the way it was.
