          CFileException 5 means "access denied", i.e. a permissions problem. As Rich notes, this is known to sometimes happen with USB or other external locations of a file.

            I think can happen if your autosave file was externally and then you, for some reason, moved to local.

            So the autosave continues to try and locate a path to 0.skb that it can no longer find.

              %(#4080FF)[Its at the same location on hard drive all the time.
              Can it be because I have that file in Google Drive ( cloud storage )Folder which updates every time I click SketchUp drawing to Save the changes ?]

                If it is on your google drive, that could be a problem. If the file is saved in the cloud, it isn't on your hard drive.
