How can I solve an error message? Help!!

Hi everyone. Every time I press save in Trados I get the following error message: "'C:\Users\username\OneDrive\Document\Studio 2021\AutoSave\xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx'. This results in me having to do an advanced save as to save the files as .sdlxliff.

Does anyone know how to solve this?

Help!!

Thanks to everyone beforehand.

    Hello Alberto Yoacham,

    The error message you're encountering seems to be related to access permissions, possibly due to the file being located in the OneDrive folder. Here are some steps you can try:

    Step 1: Run Trados Studio as an administrator. To do this, right-click on the Trados Studio icon and select 'Run as administrator'. This will ensure Trados Studio has the necessary permissions to access the file.

    Step 2: Disable the Auto Save feature. Go to File > Options > Editor in Trados Studio and uncheck 'Enable Auto Save'. This will prevent Trados Studio from automatically saving the file, which might be causing the issue.

    Step 3: Close any other applications that might be using the file. This includes any other instances of Trados Studio or any other software that might be accessing the file.

    Step 4: If you're using OneDrive, try pausing syncing or excluding the Trados Studio folder from syncing. OneDrive might be locking the file, preventing Trados Studio from accessing it.

    If the issue persists after trying these steps, please provide more information such as the exact version of Trados Studio you're using, any recent changes to your system or software, and the operating system you're using.

    I hope this answer addressed your question. If not, please reject the answer, add the question improvement suggestion information, and click the RWS Community AI checkbox on the right to try again.

    The issue is caused by OneDrive. Move your Documents folder out of OneDrive or deactivate the synchronisation of this folder.

    Other (better) solution is to upgrade to the latest version of Trados Studio.

    If you search for OneDrive in this forum, you will find numerous threads about this problem.
