[GNC] Possible Bug with GNUCash - GNUCash cannot see/open files with OneDrive

[Cameron Podd]

Hi Derek – thanks for your response.


  1.  I am using MacOS Big Sur 11.4
  2.  Yes, my OneDrive is mounted. I can access that spot from my filesystem & terminal and see/copy/move the data file there.

Thanks – Cameron

What OS/Distro are you using?
Is OneDrive actually *mounted*?
Can you browse to /Users/<username>/OneDrive/Documents from a
Terminal/Command-line and see your data file there?
