Hi everyone,

When trying to add a new plugin to my project, this message appear :

Failed to write output file ‘../../../../../../Users/lucas/OneDrive/Documents/Unreal Projects/PFE/PFE.uproject’. Perhaps the file is Read-Only?

Unfortunaltly, even if I select the whole folder to apply their sub-folder and files to be writable. It doesn’t works.

Thanks for your time !

Hey there @Speed60580! Welcome back to the community! Often when there’s a failure to write, it can be due to the file access permissions, a firewall, or that the file is already being accessed. I noticed in your path that this is OneDrive subfolder. Do you have Onedrive currently active? It’s recommended to disable it on any folder that houses Unreal Engine or Unreal Engine projects due to complications when trying to sync rapidly changed binary files.
