Keep trying.

I don't think that that properties tab is very reliable. I have accessed or saved files on a certain date and when I look at that it shows something else.

I don't think you can check which computer has accessed it.

Why would someone want to copy your files and why would it matter?

It's difficult to say. Post doc opportunities often require a specific set of research skills. You should check things like ResearchGate for job opportunities and see if you will have the requirements. Your publications will certainly help you.

Their public transport isn't that bad to be honest, if you are in a city. They just tell you that it is terrible, because they don't know - they all have cars...

Why do you want to go for a postdoc? Have you been doing any research in your lecture position?

Your PhD offer will most likely be fine. It's just a formality at this stage, as long as there is nothing bad in your references. I'm pretty certain they didn't even check my references.

If I was in your position, I would accept the MSc offer just in case, and then decline it saying that you have got a funded PhD elsewhere when you get your offer letter. They will understand. I know this isn't entirely ethical, but sometimes you have to put yourself first.
