RomanZ Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 jwilker, I don't see your attachment. Some other error is happening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwilker Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Gah weird it doesn't like that image. Yeah I get an error about not having enough permissions to edit part of a red only folder or some such. However I'm admin on the machine, and have even set the root BTsync folder to be completely read/write for all levels, to no avail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 jwilker, Could you please check that user, which runs btsync has enough permissions to write into that folder? It might happen that btsync runs as a different user, which has no enough permissions. When folder added, BTSync adds some service information inside immediately, so lack of permissions is a result of this error popup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwilker Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 hmmm weird. it runs as me and I'm admin on the machine.

migidid Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Hi ! i had exactly same problem using windows 10 to android 4.4.4 and nothing worked... then i changed androids sync settings to internal memory instead of sd card because apps arent allowed to modify sd card in 4.3 and up... and it worked perfectly after it ! just wanted to tell that if others have same problem !

aRaven88 Posted July 19, 2022 Report Share Posted July 19, 2022 Old thread I know but I just had this problem on Android and discovered that it was a permission that had gotten turned off. To fix I went to: -3 lines on the top left -Settings -"Allow Sync to use your device's storage?" -Toggled Sync back on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
