Creation of lck file in LibreOffice Base

When trying to open a Libre Office Base file that is stored in Dropbox and mounted to my BookwormPuppy Linux installed on a USB drive I get this message error:

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.

Select Notify to open read-only and get notified when the document becomes editable.

I am only able to open the file in read only mode.

I don't know how to do this

This is old version. You should be using the latest one.

Most likely you have to enable VFS full caching mode.

I have asked the Puppylinux community for help to get a newer version. I've also started using the built in RCloneGUI instead of RcloneBrowser and am now able to share the terminal output:

hi, the GUI is experimental and has not been updated in many years.
really, should try running rclone on the command line, much easier to help you that way.

and you seem to be double posting two topics at the same time, make it hard to help you.
so please choose just one topic, this topic or the other topic, but not both at the same time, ok, thanks.

that is an very old version, custom compiled dev version, really hard for us to support that here in the forum.

need to use the latest offical version which is v1.67.0
can try rclone selfupdate

after you update, please post the output of rclone version so we can confirm that.

Your log tells you what to do... Change caching level to something higher. You can find all detail in rclone docs. In short try to add --vfs-cache-mode full flag to your mount command. And of course run the latest rclone version.
