Synchronizing and Read Only

[BethB]

I am trying to set up a one note notebook on a desktop that I can access from
a notebook computer as a synchronized one note notebook. I am using Windows 7
and have a Homegroup set up on the network. I have set up a Test notebook on
the desktop and when I attempt to open it from the notebook computer through
the Homegroup it always opens as read only. I have looked at the permissions
of the folder on the desktop and ensured that the folder is not read only but
everytime I attempt to open it it reverts back to read only (permissions show
as a blue square not a check). I have also tried to open it outside of the
Homegroup through the network and the same read only issue exists.
Any suggestions are appreciated!

1. Are you able to create/edit files on the share from the machine on
which the notebook opens as read-only (try creating a text file and
editing it with notepad)?
If not, it is likely that you need to configure the share
to allow write access. Once the share is configured for write access,
OneNote should work.

2. Are you using any other synch software on that share like Offline
Files or Groove ?
