    I am getting the same error when I try to add a PDF file:
    Some updates failed: Cannot edit item in library 11090186

    Ah, this is in the web library. You're trying just trying to add PDFs to public group libraries that don't allow file editing. (File sharing is never allowed in public open groups.) We'll fix the web library should show a better error for this. The desktop app prevents it properly.

    (@lksample, same answer for you.)
