Remove folder protection and retest access

Remove folder protection and retest access is easier to verify when you use one controlled item and confirm the account, workspace, source, and destination at each step. This guide follows the current Dosya workflow and identifies the result you should see.

Before you start

• Open a Dosya folder and its access or lock settings in the current released client.
• Confirm the active account and workspace, then identify test folder with an active lock or restriction.
• Use a small non-confidential test item and record its current state before changing it.
• Keep passwords, API keys, recovery codes, private links, personal data, and confidential file contents out of screenshots and support messages.

Steps: remove folder protection and retest access

1. Open a Dosya folder and its access or lock settings and confirm the active account and workspace.
2. Locate test folder with an active lock or restriction and verify its name or identifying details.
3. Remove only the intended control, save the change, reopen the folder, and retest with an affected member.
4. Read the displayed warning, permission, progress, or confirmation state before leaving the screen.
5. Confirm that the removed control no longer blocks access while other restrictions still apply.
6. Refresh, fetch, or reopen the relevant view once to verify the result persisted.

Expected result

The controlled workflow completes and the removed control no longer blocks access while other restrictions still apply. The result remains visible after a refresh, reconnect, or return to the relevant screen.

Limits and important details

• Available controls depend on the current client version, account plan, workspace role, policy, and selected integration surface.
• Processing, indexing, background transfer, provider authorization, or storage accounting can delay a visible result.
• For destructive, access-changing, or automated actions, validate with disposable data before applying the workflow to important files.

Troubleshooting

The expected control is missing. Return to a Dosya folder and its access or lock settings, confirm the active workspace, and check that your role and client version support the action.

The operation is rejected or stalls. Read the exact message and check permissions, locks, storage, network state, source availability, and any third-party authorization before retrying.

The result is still unclear. Repeat with one small test item, then contact support with the time, client version, workspace, and a nonsecret error, delivery, or request identifier.
