Can't create folder on readyshare drive with Windows Explorer
I've had this external drive hooked to my wndr3400v2 router for 3 or 4 years and never had an issue. Now all of a sudden I can't create a folder on it. It tells me Destination Folder Access Denied...
- Hello,
Have you tried using a different computer? Yes and I get the same error.
You mentioned that you tried changing the permission on Windows, what permission is this? Right click on the drive letter, go to the security tab, hit the advanced button, click on the user and select full control. But it won't allow me to do that.
Will you be able to create a new folder on your local computer? Yes I can do anything I want on the local PC, just not on the mapped drive.
Is creating a folder on ReadySHARE worked before? Yes I've been using it for 3 or 4 years as a backup/extra storage.
Thank you very much for the reply. I figured this out yesterday. I unplugged power to the external drive and plugged it back in a few seconds later and like magic everything works right now.
