Google Chrome is failing to save files directly to network attached storage (NAS) and cloud backup drives, multiple reports have claimed.
An initial bug report(opens in new tab) in January 2023 reported that the 32-bit Windows version of Chrome 109 was hitting a “can’t open this file” error when trying to save files using a universal naming convention (UNC) path, with the error claiming that the issue is that the save destination folder “contains system files”.
However, in testing bug demo code(opens in new tab) from another report, The Register(opens in new tab) also ran into the issue while trying to open a Dropbox file on the Arm64 version of Chrome 109 running on macOS.
