Snapshot retrieval failed. One or more unwritable files.

Summary

Hello,
I’m having an issue when syncing my project in Unreal Engine. I get this error:

Sync Failed
Snapshot retrieval failed. One or more unwritable files.

I tried running as administrator and made sure the files aren’t locked, but the problem still exists.
This project is my only source of income and my main work. I really need help urgently, please.

Has anyone faced this before or knows how to fix it?

Thank you :heart:

Additional Notes

Hello, I need the map. I spent a lot of time modifying it and I need the map files. I need the map and I have followers who want me to update the map and add new things.

Hello, Thanks for the video. I’m noticing that the project location you are trying to Sync to is your ‘OneDrive’ folder. There is a message right below the filepath that warns against this.

Also, I notice Arabic characters in the filepath, trying without those characters could be a good troubleshooting step.
