Evernote for Mac 10.40.9 Fails to Open Local File Hyperlinks

[Bigkarlo 7]

Created a local file hyperlink (as detailed in release notes for 10.39.6). File is stored in my Documents folder which syncs across my Macs via iCloud. When I click the hyperlink, I get the attached "failure" message. When I hyperlink a file stored in my local Downloads folder (which does not sync via iCloud), the file opens fine.

I went to Privacy settings and made sure Evernote had access permission there.

As a test, I repeated this in Evernote legacy and there was no problem opening the hyperlink regardless of where the file was stored.

This is a bad failure. Someone needs to do this work right.

Contact support about it.

We are other users, and probably can’t troubleshoot this problem.

Edit:

As an idea: If you have the disk optimization active on the Mac, probably only a link to the file will be really stored on your Mac. The full content will only be on iCloud. Maybe EN can't force a download to the local storage, and displays an error.

Just my 5ct ...
