For some reason, users in our organization have been receiving the attached error when trying to access company files across Premier 2020-22 and Enterprise 21. They are stored on a file share we've used for this purpose for years without issues. The server is running the appropriate versions of QB Database Server Manager. The users all have full control on the share. And oddly, the issue is intermittent. If they continue closing the company files and reopening them, it eventually works without issue (usually 2-5 attempts does the trick).
