Resolutions: 

Try the following resolutions in this order: 

1. If you are using SuiteDrive, try clearing your Microsoft Cache by finding the folder path below in your file explorer and deleting all the files and folders in the 'OfficeFileCache' folder. If you are using the SuiteFiles Web App, you can skip this step.  
   1. C:\Users\[USER NAME]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\16.0\OfficeFileCache
   2. Please note: If you can't find one of the folders above, enable hidden folders
2. On the SuiteFiles Web App, try pressing the CTRL and F5 keys at the same time to do a hard refresh. If you are using SuiteDrive, you can skip this step. 
3. Check if the folder path has a folder name called 'Templates'. If so, rename this folder to 'Template' and you should be able to access the file again without any issues. 
4. Check the file path length to see if you have exceeded 218 characters. If the characters are above this limit, please shorten the length of your folder and file names.
5. Check what account is listed as your default Microsoft account by following these steps. If you have other accounts listed, you might need to remove these completely from the "Connected Services" heading. 
6. As Microsoft no longer support Windows 7 or 8, you will need to check if your device meets our system requirements. 
7. If the above solutions do not work and you are still seeing these error messages, please contact our support team at support@suitefiles.com as we may need to update your service account.
