Since last Friday I have been unable to save Powerpoint Files that I am creating on my desktop but are synced with Box Drive.  I am using Mac Version 10.15.6. I keep getting the following error message.  

We cant save /user/myname/box/filename

because the file is read-only.

To keep your changes, you'll need to save the presentation with a new name or in a different location.
