I use Bookends as my reference manager, and, as most of you here know, it saves PDFs to a folder in the never-never land of iCloud Drive. This morning, after opening a PDF to read and highlight, I am getting a dialogue box that looks like this:
Eh? When I open the iCloud Drive folder and try CMD + i, all I get is warning bonk -- that weird bell/honk noise. When I try CMD + i for other folders, results vary, though they tend towards the bonk for folders created by apps. Not all app-created folders do this. (E.g., the folder by aText or by Books are happy to let me get information, but not iA Writer nor Keynote.
Is it okay to change permissions from the command line or will universe-ending paradoxes ensue? (FWIW, I have no intention on sauntering among the folders in iCloud Drive and changing permissions because, you know, all my permission belong to me, or that sort of thing. I really just need the Bookends folder to let me save changes to the PDFs stored there.)
