I have Sonoma 14.6.1 (23G93). Preview keeps telling me my file "couldn’t be opened because I don’t have permission to view it", even though I own the file and have read & write access. Quitting or force quitting the Preview app doesn't solve the issue. The only solution I have found is to restart the Mac, which is really annoying. This problem recurs every 2-3 weeks.
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 14.6
Locate and right-click on the Excel file with the "Protected View" error. Select "Properties" from the menu. Check the box next to "Unblock," then hit "Apply" and "OK" to save the changes.
