I’ve recently been brought back by a company I did work for before and was given access again to the old files to edit them, when I look at the team list I see myself listed as “can edit,” however whenever I actually open any of the files it has the “Edit File” button on the bottom bar and it’s telling me to request access. What makes it even stranger is I see an admin listed for requesting edit access that is no longer with the company and they don’t actually show up on the full team list of active members, it’s almost like the file itself is pulling from an old team list. What is going on with this?
