IMAC

[Frédéric Caulier]

Hi

I use axcrypt since many times and i have now an Imac instead of pc.

I have problem with all my excel and word file on Mac

When i open a file without crypting it, i can modify and save it but if i open the same file encrypted, the file open in excel or word but “read only”

I can’t modify and save it (only save a copy which is placed in users/myname/.local/share/Axcrypt

The problem is only on MAC (On a PC that’s ok)

Best regards

Hello Frédéric,

We think, your files are not given full permission. Please check and give full access(write/read) for the files

AxCrypt is a file encryption software and it requires a full write access to the path when encrypting/decrypting the files.

Please provide the necessary access(write access for the currently signed in user) to the file path and then try to encrypt/decrypt the files under the specified location.

We also found something in the internet to resolve the same,

Hi,

I’ve no error, i just can’t modify my excel file because it’s read only

I identify a problem :
The file i want to open is like this : filename-xlsx.axx and located in my documents (property is correct : read and write)
When i open the file, excel open and i can see on top of it : read only
In excel when i do file/property, i see the file opened is located here : /Users/myname/.local/share/AxCrypt/mudc5nd0 and the file name is now filename.xlsx (without .axx) and is read only.
I don’t know why all excel files created in /Users/myname/.local/share/AxCrypt/ are read only

I hope that will help you

Hello Frédéric,

When you start the AxCrypt app, the AxCrypt app to check the folder(C/Users/myname/.local/share/AxCrypt). at that time, the folder to check the permission of the above location. Please provide the necessary access(write access for the currently signed-in user) to the file path and then try to encrypt/decrypt the files under the specified location.

So please give the full permission in the above folder, and also check any third application to block the above folder.
