Hello XDers,
Very excited about all the amazing updates made to XD over the past few weeks and have finally gotten around to trying the "Invite to Edit" feature but me and my team have been unsuccessful in getting this to work. We all have the latest builds, and are using the document cloud but when we accept the email invite we all get the same error message ( See below ). Any idea how we can this ironed out?
Thanks for any help!

Hello, I have the same issue, already tried the steps above but didn't fix the problem. My document is a local one, as soon it finish loading I get the error "There was an error opening the file..." (Error code: 47), after I click ok, the document close and can't do anything.
I tried opening the file in other computers with different Adobe accounts and the issue remains. This file only have being share for Design Specs.
this is the error message

I also have the same issue. This is a file I've been working on for a month now for my company and starting again would be highly inconvenient, I've tried all the steps above. The file loads completely then shows "There was an error opening the file (filename).xd Error 47"
Don't know what may have caused this or how to fix it.

Hi there! This error message generally means that you don't have permissions to view the document, or that the document doesn't exist. Since you're obviously sharing between team members, is it possible that you have more than one Adobe IDs and are logged into one of them?

This error message means that the document doesn't exist.

If this error message means that the document does not exist, something is very wrong. I get this error message by clicking on a share invitation link created and sent from message@adobe.com.

Hi elainecc - Am I correct in saying this functionality is only available between team members? Ie two designers with two different adobe ID's can't edit a file collaboratively?
If this is the case, the error revealed should say so, and not that the document is unable to open.
Copy link to clipboard
Copied
No, that's incorrect. The problem happens if someone has two different Adobe IDs with the same Email address. This happens occasionally in enterprise organizations. I was inquiring as to that.

What is the solution to this problem?

Can you check if you are logged in using the ID with which you subscribed to it? If you have multiple Adobe ID, ensure that you are using the relevant ID to log in.

We are experiencing this error now. How do we go about checking the relevant ID being used when sharing?

Hi,
We're having this problem across our organsiation at the moment - it is causing massive problems.
Everything was fine until last week. Now we cannot effectively share documents across the distributed (Enterprise) team. I really really need a solution v.quickly - being strongly pushed to move to different software (which i don't want to do) but am swimming against the tide here.
There are multiple accounts associated with each persons email address. This is a result of the organisation moving from std licensing to enterprise licenses with single sign on integration.
We've spent hours and hours trying different combinations of logging in / out of accounts to ensure that everyone is logged in to their enterprise accounts - both those sharing and those being invited. Everyone has updated to the latest version of XD
Whislt downloading the files to local machines from assets.adobe.com works fine, this is not a appropriate solution - completely negates the value of working together across files or even synching files....
I need a solution quickly please.
How can this issue with multiple accounts be resolved?
Thanks
Liam

First off, you can work with your IT Admin to file a support ticket through the admin console - if you're on an enterprise account, this will be the fastest way to get hands on support.
They'll be able to ask you the following questions:
If it's Invite to Edit (instead of CC Files), my recommendation is to invite people by Email address, but do not accept the autocomplete if it is offered to you - type in the entire Email address. Once the invitation is sent, click on the Email or the desktop notification, and the document should open successfully.
In either case, I'd advise that you go ahead and file that enterprise support ticket.

Hi,
Thanks for the advice.
Will try the email address approach and let you know if we have any success, whilst i see if i can get IT to file the support ticket.
In answer to the questions:

The project worked fine yesterday, but when I wanted to start working today it couldn't open the document anymore.
The project is stored in the Creative Cloud Storage and I don't have a local copy. All my work is gone.
This is the second time this happens this weekend, after a crash yesterday I lost all my work and had to start over again, because even though the last saved version of my project included the lost work, I could not get it back.
I hope someone has a fix for this, because I don't wanna start working on this project all over again a third time. Thanks.
EDIT: I'm on the latest version of Windows 10, Creative Cloud and Adobe XD. All my drivers are up to date.

Hi ColinDeD,
Thanks for reporting this issue and sharing the screenshot here. We would need some information and a few logs to investigate it further.
Could you please share the version of Adobe XD: Go to Help > About XD, exact version of Creative Cloud sync: Open Creative Cloud desktop app, go to Preferences > Creative Cloud > Files and other than this information we would need the following logs as well.
Note: For the logs above paste" %localappdata%\Packages\Adobe.CC.XD_adky2gkssdxte\LocalState\ " in the address bar of windows explorer, you would get to the Local State folder where you can find the above logs.
You may upload these logs to CC or Dropbox as a zip file and share the link with me in a private message.
Please let me know in case you face trouble grabbing any of the logs.
Thanks,

In the time we understand what's causing this issue, can you you try opening the file from https://assets.adobe.com/cloud-documents? You can also try opening a previous version of the document from the version history if you are facing issues with using the current version.

Hi Johanvanderkolk,
Sorry that you are unable to open the existing document. We would need some information and a few logs to investigate it further.
Could you please share the version of Adobe XD: Go to Help > About XD, exact version of Creative Cloud sync: Open Creative Cloud desktop app, go to Preferences > Creative Cloud > Files? Other than this information we would need the following logs as well.
I am assuming you are using a windows machine. Please share the OS build as well.
Note: For the logs above paste" %localappdata%\Packages\Adobe.CC.XD_adky2gkssdxte\LocalState\ " in the address bar of windows explorer, you would get to the Local State folder where you can find the above logs.
You may upload these logs to CC or Dropbox as a zip file and share the link with me in a private message. Please let me know in case you face trouble grabbing any of the logs.
Meanwhile, I would request you to try to create a new admin user account and check if allows you to open this document, you may also try to open this on a different machine and check if that works.

Can you plz help me, how to get back my file.

I think this msg - 'sorry can't open this document' occurs when you try to open a cloud document without running your adobe cc app, if your not signed in or when xd is not connected to cc server.......
whenever i get this msg ill close xd >open cc app >open xd> open cloud document> it runs (you can see cloud docs and can't open it means your internet is so slow or server down.)
if nothing of above works try reinstalling adobe cc.
(I told my exp if nothing works then...ask help from adobe)

No I didn't look there. That's not the problem. I got an email and clicked on it. It asked if I wanted to open that file in XD. I said yes, and then it said sorry, can't open. So In XD I went to "shared with me" and saw the file and tried again and again over a couple of days... with the same "sorry can't open that file" error.
I finally followed the tip from the person here and opened the CC app and it worked!
I'm not able to spend a lot of time debugging this for ya'll, but hopefully this is enough info for ya'll to fix it for future users.
Here's my logs
