Chrome users on the Windows operating system have reported problems when it comes to network file storage.
In the last few 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 proceed normally.
About the error itself, this manifests itself when searching for a file online; clicking the save option and consequently storing the data on a network shared device or a cloud server. According to the same bug report, an error message appears informing the user that the package cannot be opened because it contains system files.
However, Windows users were not the only ones to face this problem. The British news site Register conducted some tests, and detected the same problem when trying to open a Dropbox file via the macOS Ventura 13.2 operating system.
This Chrome archive bug is expected to be fixed upon the release of version 110.
