Chrome users on the Windows operating system have reported problems when it comes to network file storage.
In recent days, a bug confirmed that Chrome version 109 refused to save files via a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path. When tested in different browsers, namely Apple Safari, Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Edge (based on Chromium), the problem did not persist and the operation would run normally.
As for the error itself, it manifests itself when searching for a file online; clicking on the save option and consequently storing the data on a shared network device or cloud server. According to the same bug report, an error message appears informing the user that the package cannot be opened as it contains system files.
However, Windows users were not the only ones to face this problem. The British news site the Register carried out some tests and detected the same problem when trying to open a Dropbox file using the macOS Ventura 13.2 operating system.
This Chrome file bug is expected to be resolved when version 110 is released.
