| Hi,
this is a shared volume for Archived issues, so the users are to not be able to write files/delete files to this volume since it is not being backed up.
When connecting to a shared drive over AFP the Mac clients (we have 380 of them) don't have issues with opening files on a Read-Only drive. When connecting over SMB/CIFS they are unable to open InDesign files by clicking on them while stored on the server.
Copying the file locally and then opening is a "better" solution for us in IT, as it removes this issue, but the users are not that happy. They want to be able to open the file from the server, as they could with the old Archive servers.
So the issue is that InDesign could open a file of a Read-Only drive over AFP but not over SMB.
Thanks
