Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The CLOUDPHOTODB-SHM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to CLOUDPHOTODB-SHM files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the CLOUDPHOTODB-SHM file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected CLOUDPHOTODB-SHM files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of CLOUDPHOTODB-SHM file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CLOUDPHOTODB-SHM files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file CLOUDPHOTODB-SHM except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move CLOUDPHOTODB-SHM to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the CLOUDPHOTODB-SHM file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file CLOUDPHOTODB-SHM to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CLOUDPHOTODB-SHM file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
