File Explorer Error
Hi All,
Need some help with the following error. I have many folders in my external HDD. While accessing a particular folder I am getting an error and none of the folders is accessible. Can someone help me here? The folder contains lots of songs. Need to access anyhow.
Thanks

Hello sandipgumtya365,
You need to configure the permissions to get inside the folder. So you can either take ownership of the folders or set permissions as mentioned in this fix:

Let us know if this helps!

KapilArya Hi Kapil thanks for your reply. I just tried on one subfolder. It can be opened now. However, the contents are not playable (the subfolders contain songs). How can I do it for the main folder as there are 100+ subfolders, applying individually is very difficult. Can you suggest what to do for the entire folder?
sandipgumtya365, while you take ownership, make sure you check Replace owner on subcontainers and objects option.
