Don't Have Permission To Write To Selected Folder

Hi,

 

I'm seeing a problem with the Sync application which doesn't sync. When opening the GUI it states "Don't have permission to write to selected folder".

Closing the application from taskbar and opening does not fix it, nor does restarting the machine.

Problem came up after upgradering the machine it ran on (it's a virtual machine) with more CPU and memory.

Operating system is Windows 2012 R2.

 

Manually navigating in Windows Explorer to the folder where the software stores its files, I can without a problem both read, write and modify them.

Have seen a couple of threads on the forum about this topic, but none that seemed to correspond to this issue nor did they offer any viable solution.

 

Any ideas?

 

 

Regards,

Anders

Should add that removing/re-adding a folder does not fix the issue... Have enabled debug logging and looked through the logs, nothing standing out (however I'm not well-versed in interpreting that log file, so might have overlooked it)...

Ok, this is VERY strange... Logged on the machine and wanted to test some things with the SYNCID files, but as soon as I browsed into the .SYNC folder it started working... The errors in the GUI went away. it turned green, then stated "Out of Sync" and started syncing...
