When I try to save my work in Trados Studio 2017 I get the following message:
"Access to the path 'C\Users\joopd\OneDrive\Documenten\Studio2017\AutoSave\...." is denied.

I must say that the last few days I received some mails that some files from my OneDrive had been deleted. But I didn't touch my OneDrive (I hardly use it).

Does anyone has any clue as to how to fix this problem?

Many thanks in advance
Joop

It seems to be a synchronisation issue Nov 22, 2024

If OneDrive is synchronising the folder where Trados autosaves, it might lock files temporarily, causing that error.
To stop OneDrive synchronisation for that folder, try to right-click the folder in OneDrive and select 'Always Keep on This Device or Stop Syncing'; or move the Studio 2017 folder outside of OneDrive’s synchronisation path.
If the problem persists, change where Trados stores autosave files: File > Options > File Types > General.

I've tried disabling OneDrive, disabling autosave,but still it's crashing. OneDrive is the problem!
Can you tell me where I can change the sync path for OneDrive? It's definitely a sync issue.
I finally decided that for now, I'm going to Advanced Save As and just update the Xliff, turning off AutoSave, pause sync on OneDrive. I tried that a few times and at least my files are saved. I can always store them on the Cloud, or restart Sync on One drive.

Many thanks in advance!
