Can’t duplicate Keynote presentations on iPad.

When I try to duplicate my Keynote presentation I get the following error: “The operation could not be completed. The file could not be opened.” I am able to open the file and edit it without issue. It’s stored on Google Drive. I have a new iPad with plenty of space.

Any idea what the issue might be?

Opening Keynote Files from iCloud Encountered an Error I'm unable to access any of my Keynote files stored on iCloud. Every time I try to double-click a Keynote file from the Finder, nothing happens. Even attempting to open it directly from the Keynotes application doesn't elicit a response from my Mac. Just to provide some context, I'm currently on iOS 13.5. I used to have a lot of confidence in the iOS system, but now I'm reconsidering using Keynote altogether. This situation is especially disheartening because all the important business keynote files I've diligently created over the years seem to have disappeared. Anyone have the solutions?

Keynote 12.1 unable to import images or save Since the update to 12.1 I have continuously run into errors when trying to import or replace images, and with saving a new document to my computer. Error messages appear and the only way to complete the task is to close Keynote, and attempt again. Only rarely is it successful. The save issue is also present on other iWork apps.

Attaching files Hello I have a company iPad, recently each time I tried to attach a file it doesn’t give me the option to do open one drive. I click edit side bar and one drive doesn’t show as an option. This is when in safari and on the mail app. Also when it does work on Edge, when you choose attach, it used to take you to the last file you were in, now it goes to a standard home page so you have to click through all options to upload the file of your choice. Any ideas please?

For various technical reasons, you may not be able to directly duplicate the Keynote presentation within your Google Cloud storage (i.e., an “in-situ” duplication of a file stored in Google Cloud/Drive).

Consider creating a copy of the file - stored either locally on the iPad, or in iCloud - and then attempt to duplicate the file.
