Re: How to reset the file system warning options on Mac

How to reset the file system warning options on Mac

Helpful | Level 7

I have a new Macbook Air M3.  I am new to mac.  I have DB for Business.  I have DB on macOS on File Provider.

 

I opened an excel file in a shared folder and a system prompt came up asking me if I want to lock the file.  I chose no and also selected the box to not show this prompt again.  Well I want to show it again.

 

I read I can reset the File System Warning options by going into the DB settings, then account, and press the option key.  I need to hold option and see the box to "Reset File System Warning options".  If I let go of option key it disappears.  so while holding the option key I click on it and it looks to press (changes color) but there is no prompt like apply.

 

I restarted the computer and i still do not get the prompt.  Any idea?

 

thanks
