Access to the cloud file is denied

Scintnl · 12-27-2025, 05:51 PM

I´m having trouble accessing the older ebooks in my library. I get this message:

calibre, version 8.16.2
ERROR: Failed to set data: Could not set data, click "Show details" to see why.

OSError: [WinError 395] Access to the cloud file is denied: 'C:\\Users\\Salvador\\OneDrive\\magia en onedrive\\Tompkins Matthew\\The Spectacle of Illusion_ Magic, (20841)\\metadata.opf'

Any clues?

Keeping the working library on a networked drive is iffy to terrible (google drive). Not all are present locally, all the time.
Other than Google, the cloud is usually fine for a backup copy.

Yep - I am getting errors with my calibre library on a networked drive/NAS?

Cloud storage (Onedrive, Dropbox, etc) is network storage - as are shared drives, file servers, network attached storage etc.
