you do not have required permission to sychronize file

[Smith, Jamie]

I recently tried to add files to a Groove folder that I share with a project
committee. I am the manger and everyone else are participants. I have full
permissons and the participants have permission to do everything besides
delete files and folders that are not their own.

When I added the folders they synced fine for me but for everyone else they
received an error message when the synchronized that said: "you do not have
required permission to synchronize file"

I have looked everywhere for hours for an answer and nothing. My company
offered Groove but does not support it. So my project has stalled and I
have
no support. Any help that anyone can help would be much appreciated.

Thank you,

Jamie

Is this a SharePoint Files tool in a Standard Workspace?

If so, this behavior is correct. Files synchronize within the Groove
Workspace automatically. The "Synchronize Now" function synchronizes data
between the workspace and SharePoint, and that function is limited to one
member of the workspace. See
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/groove/HA102242501033.aspx for details.

Hi Jamie!

No, that page doesn't apply to a File Sharing workspace.

Have you exceeded workspace limits, or are the files of restricted types? In
the Groove Launchbar, right-click the workspace name and choose Properties.
There are two tabs here that may help you determine what is going on: Status,
and Folder Info.

Status shows synchronization errors, and will tell you if your workspace has
exceeded size limits (2 GB, 5000 files, or any file larger than 1GB).

Folder Info lists file types and attributes excluded (by program design) or
blocked (by Office, individual, or Groove domain policy) from
synchronization. Your 17 files may be of blocked types. If domain policy
allows, you can disable blocking restricted file types under Options,
Preferences, Security. You can't change excluded types, because synchronizing
them would cause problems with the program.

I hope this helps!

Hi there,
You will want to check to see if these files that you put into the space are
restricted files. Go to Options > Preferences > Security to view the
restricted file types.

I checked and I have not exceeded the limit (118 mb) and the files have
.doc, .docx and .pdf extensions.

Some of the file names are long (over 25 characters) could that be the
problem?

This is only a Groove file sharing workspace not a standard workspace. I
placed multiple files at once (late at night) and only 17 were not allowed to
sync and sent this error message to the participants (not me). This is
shutting down out project becuase the error messages keep appearing.

Is this still correct? I read the article but I don't understand how it
applies to our situation.

Hey Gregg-

They are not restircted file types because they are only .pdf, .doc, .docx,
..ppt and .pptx.

Any other reasons you can think of?
