"File is currently open by another user"

We are using the My Cloud EX2 Ultra.

After a few weeks of using the EX2 Ultra without any problems, we are consistently getting errors saying that the file (usually a Word doc or Excel spreadsheet) is open by another user, even though this isn’t true. Sometimes half the files on the drive can’t be edited because they are supposedly open. Is there a way to clear the cache on the drive?

Thanks

You may want to see the dedicated EX2 subforum where people more familiar may be able to help. You can also search (using magnifying glass icon upper right) to see if there are other discussions on issue(s) similar to yours. This subforum (My Cloud) is generally for the single bay My Cloud units.
