STATUS_NOT_A_CLOUD_FILE
STATUS_NOT_A_CLOUD_FILE means the target is not a Cloud Files placeholder. A normal local file can sit inside or beside a sync root, but only files with the expected Cloud Files state can be used with placeholder-specific operations.
What to check
- Confirm the exact path and check whether the file was hydrated, reverted to a regular file, copied outside the root, or created locally.
- Do not use placeholder-only operations on ordinary files.
- For provider code, inspect the file attributes and reparse tag before assuming a path is a Cloud Files placeholder.
