File sharing - temporary empty folders are being created
Hi all,
Computers are connected over SMB. All users have full access.
Since updating all to Ventura, and figuring out how to 'turn on' SMB , every time a user saves a file from Word, two temporary folders are created and don't disappear, unfortunately only an admin user can deleted. The name of the folders are like this.
nameoffile.pdf.sb-86c490f3-Ac0QfB
nameoffile.docx.sb-86c490f3-pNHwsB
The only forum help topics I can find are back in 2016/17. A lot of people replying
saying "Temporary Files are normal ... whats the problem?", But the temporary files are more than just annoying as each time you save a document another two are created and they just keep building up. It's becoming a HUGE problem, and as mentioned, only Admin User can delete.
I called Apple Support, they don't know what's going on. They think it might be a 'trace file' or a
'footprint' of the other user on the shared network.
Don't want to downgrade to a previous OS due to security.
SOMEONE HELP PLEASE!
