Mac InDesign files opening as read-only from linux file server

[amanda g]

- Many of the artworkers in our studio are experiencing InDesign files intermittently opening as Read-Only on our network. After trying several times of opening and closing the files may open correctly.

- The files can be 'Saved As' once opened to save any changes, but will open as Read-Only again straight afterwards.

- We have tried adding 'InDesign' to System Preferences - Security & Privacy - 'Full Disk Access' and 'Files & Folders' but it hasn't helped.

- We have tried it on SMB and AFP with no change to behaviour

- It has been happening with previous versions of InDesign.  We are currently using Indesign 2024.

- It effects both intel and M1 & M2 chip computers.

Anybody got any ideas other than the ones we have tried please?

Hi there,

Sorry for the trouble. If you are on an enterprise team license then, would you mind creating a case or initiate a chat from the Admin Console's support tab if you're a System or Support administrator using this link: https://adobe.ly/49YI2W9?

If not, then contact your admin and ask them to create a case or start chatting through the admin console.

Thanks,

Harshika
