When your access changes to View
What it is
If someone changes you to Can view while you have a file open, your next save can't go to the drive. FIIP DRIVE keeps each of those saves on your device. Your files weren't touched, and nothing is lost.
You find them on the drive's On this device tab, in Saves kept on this device. You choose what happens to each one.
How to
Each saved file has its own row.
- Save a Copy... Pick a folder on your device. FIIP DRIVE copies your save there ("Copied as <name>. The save is still here too."). The drive isn't changed. The drive must be mounted.
- Keep Here Leaves the save on your device. If someone later gives you Can edit, it goes to the drive.
- Discard Edits... Removes your edits from this device. The drive's copy stays as it is, and it's what you see again. You are asked first, and it can't be undone. Press Keep My Edits to back out.
- Delete for Good... Appears when the drive never had the file. This device holds the only copy, so deleting removes it for good. Keep is the default.
If the drive has since lost its own copy, the row says "This device has the only copy". Use Save a Copy to keep it elsewhere. There is no Discard then.
If something goes wrong
- "Mount <drive> to copy it." Mount the drive first, then try again.
- "Couldn't copy it: ... Your save is still here on this device." Pick another folder, such as one with free space.
- "FIIP DRIVE couldn't reach this drive to discard the save. Your edits are still here." Try again in a moment.
