This message appeared when I was about to work on an InDesign file which I had written the last piece 20 hrs. bewfore. Most of my important recent InDesign files also refused to open: 

Can anyone help me please?

Correct answer Robert at ID-Tasker

The answer is in the message - I think you are working on a Mac? - there is extra ".icloud" at the end of the file name - try to remove it.

 

Or your file have not downloaded / synchronised properly with your local machine.

Thank you so much Robert for solving my problem. Yes I am on a Mac and
getting rid of the iClouds was the solution. It took some time but I am
back to my InDesign files. I would never have managed without your
help.Thanks again.
