Environment
Micro Focus Filr Desktop Client 3.3
Situation
When using LibreOffice 6 to save files directly into Filr folders, users are able to save the file if the file is being created for the first time in Filr. However, modifying an existing file and saving the changes may fail with the following lock errors:

The lock file could not be created for exclusive access by LibreOffice, due to missing permission to create a lock file on that file location or lack of free disk space
Additional errors may also include:
Error Saving the document <file-name>: Object not accessible.
The object cannot be accessed due to insufficient user rights.
