don't have permission to save *.kdbx via SeafilePro

[myllaeri]

Hi,

I store my kdbx file in a Seafile-Server and I use the SeafilePro App to access the kdbx from KeePassium on my iPhone.
opening it and using the kdbx works just fine, but when I change something and KeePassium tries to sync the kdbx it tell's me: "You don't have permission to save the file "KeyData.kdbx" in the folder "https%3a%2a%2a###SEAFILEDOMAIN###_myllaeri@###MYDOMAIN###_af69c3e4-d976-40e2-afc7-d224af12d489%2F""

KeePassium v1.21.81 (iPhone, iOS 14.4)

Is there a workaround?
Does this have to do with issue #126?

Hi,

I have encountered this problem a few days ago, testing with the free tier of Nihao Cloud (they are listed as Seafile partners).

The problem is always reproducible, but it affects other apps as well:

• First, I tried to edit a .doc file — but Word said the file was read-only.
• Then I opened a .pdf in Files's native preview, and added some markup. After saving, the file got stuck showing the "Waiting..." status in Files.

So it seems to be something on Seafile's side. They have two similar reports:

• iOS: file upload not working haiwen/seafile-iOS#262 was attributed to server misconfiguration
• Pages, Keynotes and such application cannot upload their own file haiwen/seafile-iOS#251 remains a mystery since 2019...

The workaround is to try to access your server via WebDAV.

I worked it around with BoxCryptor.

I don't really understand haiwen/seafile-iOS#251

but i can somehow reproduce haiwen/seafile-iOS#262 with microsoft lens.
I need to try a bit around, and then I think I will get in touch with the seafile developers

Thank you for your investigation.

Ok, I'll close it as SeafilePro's issue, then.
