This is a consequence of how Microsoft Office manipulates files on save operations, coupled with how metadata information such as shares is stored by CERNBox. Similarly, other Windows applications may exhibit the same behavior. Possible workarounds are: * Use the online Web editors or the Desktop sync client to edit Microsoft Office files. * If remote Windows access must be ensured, share the containing folder instead. Note that if remote Windows access is required also for the sharee of your file, you must share the containing folder, otherwise your collaborator won't be able to navigate to the file. - -- GitLab
