You don't have access to this file


MeYou_School

I no longer have access to my Figma file because every time I open it it throws me out with the message “You do not have access to this file”, how is this possible? I created it!

Have seen posts about this elsewhere with replies only about escalating to engineering so basically no solutions.

I’m the file owner, the file opens, I can work on it for about 10 secs then I get the message and am blocked out.

Help?

Hello, when I open one of my files I can work in it properly for about 10sec and after that the screen goes gray and there is an orange box telling me 'You don’t have access to this file
'. I dont understand why this is happening and have changed my password etc. Nobody should have access to this file other than me.

I really hope someone can help me soon because this is very important for me.

I was working well with my Figma slides, and all the sudden i started to get “you don’t have access to this file” error. I tried moving around the doc to private space etc. nothing worked.

I can see the slides for like 30 sec and everything goes away with an error.
I made and edited the slides, how can i not have access to these files…

Please we need your urgent help regarding this issue. Thanks

I don’t have access to the file that are my own neither to the files that have been shared with me and I’ve been working on them collaboratively with my colleagues.
I have a paid account.

Multiple of my files in the depth project folder of my account are showing error ‘You don’t have access to this file’.

The other posts on this topic suggest to create a new post. Please look into it.

Thanks,

Although I am an admin with full design rights, I suddenly have no access to any file. And it seems that other team members are experiencing the same issue. What’s happening?

I am experiencing the same problem.

➤ This issue only appears to be happening on the desktop app, and not on the web.

Hi everyone,

I am not able to access my drafts, and the error says “you don’t have access to file”

I saw a previous thread with the same issue and it was a bug. How can I get this resolved?

I am having this problem also. I’ve tried clearing the cache and restarting, I’ve restarted my computer and I cannot access any of my files.

I’ve saved a log but I can’t attach it to this reply.
