SharePoint Files/Folders are Read-Only when opened with File Explorer
Hello!
Can I please get help for the following issue:
-sharepoint folders/files are read-only when accessed thru file explorer; able to write/edit in folder on sharepoint site thru browser
-other folders/files for different sharepoint site working normally thru file explorer
-affecting only this user, who is an owner of this sharepoint site (there are other owners and members)
I've already done the following:
-made user owner of site (was previously just a member); confirmed all other owners/members able to access this site normally
-unsynched and deleted folder
-deleted credentials in Credential Manager
-logged in on freshly wiped laptop and synched OneDrive/Sharepoint site
-'unlinked' OneDrive and resynched
-made sure: Site Settings -> Site Collection Features > deactivate "Limited-access user permission lockdown mode"
-made sure: SharePoint library settings, clicking on versioning settings and under "Require check-out" check and select No.
-made sure: Draft Item Security is set to Any user who who can read items.
-updated office by downloading m365 apps thru office.com
-removed required columns
-used Sharepoint site's 'Add shortcut to OneDrive' option instead of 'Sync' --> this seemed like it would work but then it errors out about a filepath being too long for OneDrive to synch..
Not sure what other settings/permissions I can edit.
Thank you!
