Hello Forum
I am having this annoying issue that when I try to open an assembly it gives an error saying that the individual parts are not available for write access. Also it says that it is for conversion purposes. However I am running the 2020-2021 student version of Solidworks like everybody else on the team. The strange thing is when I go to open an individual part file from the file explorer it let's me open it no problem. When I go back to open the assembly this one part file will open in the assembly. In this way I can "build up" the assembly by going to open each part in their location, however this is very tedious.
We use onedrive for file management within the my organization, but I am quite certain that the issue is not related to onedrive.
I have tried reinstalling both solidworks and onedrive without luck. I can't find a solution to this problem online either.
Attached screenshot of the error message I get when opening assembly.
And error message when hovering over failed-to-import parts in the assembly.
I hope somebody can help. Thanks in advance.

As part of the migration from the legacy Forum to the new SOLIDWORKS Forum, there was an overlap in timing where the new Forum was being loaded with historical data from an export migration, while at the same time, the legacy Forum was still operating during the period of March 12th to March 31st. Due to the overlapping timelines and import-export technical issues, posts during that time-frame could not have their media imported. If you created a post in the legacy Forum during that time-frame and wish to update the post in the new Forum with supporting media, please go to your post in the new Forum, enter into Edit mode and re-add any supporting media you want to insert.
The easiest way to find your posted content is: from the new Forum, click on your profile icon in the top right of the GUI, then select "My Profile" and you will be taken to the "Overview" tab where you can see all of your posting history.
Thank you
