Hello friend.
Unfortunately, after several tests I did, the only alternative I found was to delete the aforementioned folders and reinstall, thus correcting the permissions.
Here is a link where my suggestion was accepted as a solution.

Hi Hannah, unfortunately it doesn't help. I still get the same error message (in French in this case - see enclosure) and the same error log file.

What's a reasonable amount of time to wait for the Support team to respond by email after feeding back that their first proposed fix didn't work?

Hi Chris E.8, as the team doesn't work on weekends, it would take at least a full 24 business hours for a reply, depending on your current plan.

It's now been two working days since I replied to the support email team and I've heard... nothing. Paying subscriber for over a decade, I don't know what that's worth, but I'm starting to find out.
To anybody else reading this and looking for answers, I would strongly suggest researching alternative cloud services. Problems can happen with any organization, it's how the company responds that shows how seriously it takes its customers.
There are better options out there.
