Error shown: Your library can't be accessed
If you open the library pane and see this error:
And/or when you open your UpSlide settings, you can see a red cross or a lock at the right of the Library path:
This could mean two things:
- You are not connected to the Internet or Network, therefore UpSlide can't access the shared folder.
- You don't have the proper permissions to access the shared folder.
- Fix: You should contact your IT department and ask them to give you the required permissions.
- Only if your library is hosted on a SharePoint path: you may have ignored the SharePoint authorisation popup when opening MS Office.
- Quick Fix: Close MS Office. Open the folder %appdata%\UpSlide and delete the file "SharePointToken.bin3". Now reopen PPT and Library and wait for the SharePoint connection to appear. Accept the connection by clicking on your email address.
- Long Term Fix: You should contact your IT department and ask them to follow these instructions.
