Ubuntu just started renaming files while exporting (sending over mail, KDE Connect, Whatsapp web). The folder is my google drive, connected to my google drive. Sometimes it looses its file ending/type as well. The file is called something like: “1Kfhgsji2rjfIS-fi3oo598nf8ajlfoi.pdf”
I guess its a weird bug, it persist even after a restart. Thanks, maybe you have a solution
Is the original file name like that, or is that the exported name?
Not gonna lie, that’s straight up bizarre. I’m almost wondering if it has to do with the programs not having proper permissions to access those files, but then I’d think that they wouldn’t upload at all.
Have you tried chmod 777 on any of those files to see if it makes a difference? That is usually my first stop when a Linux program has trouble interacting with a file.
I just opened the Google drive folder in the terminal and listed the files. They all have the similar 33 letter name. When I “ls -ld” on the files, it shows -rw-------
