It seems like the cleanup of the temp directory is not being handled properly by macOS. Save to a randomized temp directory, once successful, remove the original file, and then move the So, now I think it must be related to how Apple attempts atomic saves on remote filesystems. But I doubt Microsoft would subscribe to that With Omni Files, I'd presumed this was related to macOS' mechanism for storing versions of files, since the normal mechanism (of storing blobs and indexing to a local sqlite db) is not available over SMB.

It also happens to me when I save files from Mac to remote destinations from Omni programs (OmniGraffle, OmniOutliner, OmniPlan.) I don't have a solution, but I can confirm this isn't specifically a Microsoft Office on Mac saving to network share issue. Too far above my head, but looking more like Apple's SMB is still in dev. It appears to be all about permissions and SMB's handling of Macs hidden DOT and Double DOT files/folders.
I read that SMB file creation has different permissions than save? Seems a plausible explanation for seriously confronting behavior.Īlso WinZip couldn't unarc to the SMB share.įreeNAS forums mention all sorts of tweeks but no joy for me. Save it local and copy to the share then openĪnd save to it all day? Apologies for the vague description I'm not there to read the err's. It has two complaints about permissions then three can't create/access temp files then reports the file not saved. Excel can't "save as" a new file to the SMB. I may be wrong on that point BUT whenever the "Server is broken again" they've managed to connect SMB AGAIN and not notice!īTW - Another "feature". AFP works fine BUT somehow the Macs prefer SMB and continue to reconnect SMB. This is only happening on SMB connections. I'm not on site to check and so sick of this issue I'd rather stay away. Making Un/PW access doesn't change the odd behavior.Ĥ Macs with most recent OS updates.

The shares are Guest enabled, no password needed. I'm now trying to identify how much of a risk it is to OSX users in disabling "Allow Background Saves" and is it better to force them to save locally, then drag to the server.įreeNAS 11.1 with a pretty standard config. Disabling SMBv2 seems to resolve the issue, but is not So pending your setup, likely you do NOT have CA RHA on your servers, but you may have backup software, settings in MS FSRM file screens, etc that could potentially have the same effect. Other programs do not seem to have this issue OR utilize a different 'temp' naming schema. With SMBv1 being such a security issue now, we had to figure out SMBv2 and discovered its not the protocol, but the apps using the protocol. I've been using CA RHA to replicate data for some time and previously we had SMBv2 intentionally disabled as we though this was the culprit, but after doing packet captures, it seems Office apps treat saving to remote source differently if connected via _xxxx file attempting to be created,īut unlike Windows version of Office, Mac versions time out is much faster and so the save is canceled almost immediately. DS_Store files because of the garbage they generate (it starts to add up after terabytes of data) and I have a feeling the same thing is going on here, in the 'temp folder' there is a.
tmp files as I don't want to 'sync/replicate' them I had them explicitly excluded.

Our sync software was causing long delays as it was interfering with these. tmp file in the same directory when saving. We had a similar problem with Windows Office saves as Office apps, ONLY WHEN USING SMBv2, create a I have a feeling it has to do with our Sync software (CA RHA). Our issue was worse as users could not save directly to the server at all. Where would we poor supporters be if we had not the backup of knowledgeable peopleįor us it was the setting: Word | Preferences | Save | Allow Background Saves This said, I of course appreciate your help very much.

" I am not sure why your Word for Mac 2016 create the temporary file in a new folder." - The answer lies in the code! There mustīe the ifs and elses that test the conditions and decide to put the folder where we find them. I also wonder how other software could interfere? Preventing Office from deleting the folder? Or causing Office to create the folder in the wrong place or with he wrong permissions? Clearly as employees of the company that created the program, you shouldīe able to shed some more light on the issue and give some hints on what kind of "background process" one has to think of.
#WHERE IS THE TEMP FOLDER ON MAC OS WORD HOW TO#
We too have the problem but very sporadic and we don't know how to repropduce the error.
But the OP has never come back to report if he found the culprit. I don't understand why this has been marked as an answer.
