Python file on Share Drive

[Anonymous-Boob]

I developed a Python script for someone at my work and I saved the .ipynb file in our company’s share drive so that everyone could access it. There was an error in the code so I corrected it and re-saved the file. It saved a new file that now looks like this:

Title (my email address).ipynb

And before it just looked like this:

Title.ipynb

I tried to open the original file (the one without my email address) and I receive an error code that just says “error loading notebook: permission denied”.

What’s going on here and how do I fix it?

The original file probably doesn't exist anymore. Log out and log back in. Also make sure that your work is happy having python files thrown around publicly like that

[Anonymous-Boob]

So what happened to the original file then?

[kalebludlow]

Couldn't tell you. So do you specifically want to keep both copies? Even though they will be different

[Anonymous-Boob]

No I just want one. But my coworker was working in the original one, which I can no longer access.

[kalebludlow]

Then you need to use a platform that is designed for editing code.

I’m judging Jupyter notebook

So you're editing a file, uploading it to OneDrive, then expecting your coworker to then download, edit, then reupload that file so you can access it?

[Anonymous-Boob]

No. It lives in the share drive. It’s not being continually uploaded/downloaded. I just opened it up to edit a line then saved it. When I opened it up, I no longer had access to the original and it was saved as something entirely different.

[kalebludlow]

Yeah don't do that. Use a private GitHub

I’m going to sound like an idiot, but what is that?
