I have plenty of space I just want to save doc so I can edit no locking or permissions needed
Hello - you have a problem and are looking for help. That what this site is about, but please understand no one willing to help is able to provide a sound answer without some information about your environment. Thus please provide:
- Operating System (Windows, Linux, macOS) and its version?
- LibreOffice version?
- Storage devices (Local disk, Local fileserver, Cloud, Google Drive; OneDrive)?
- Filenames (esp.: Do they contain spaces; e.g: File Name with Spaces.ods)
- If applicable: Access method to remote directories (NFS, SAMBA, Windows Share)?
- Any save/storage problems using other applications
- Could you manually create a file named
.~lock.test.odt#
no … or permissions needed
No permission - no save. You always require permission to save or store on an storage device (whatever and wherever it is).
