Hi there I have 2 windows 10 laptops connected as a homegroup and are mapped to each other and a NAS drive.
When I sync to the NAS I have no issues
However when try to sync the 2 laptops no matter which way around I try or from which laptop I set off the sync I get the standard Error code 5 error as below.
Ive tried to run as Admin - no luck
Tried a regedit that was suggested - no luck
I had pick saved on tiny pic of the standard error but was not allowed to include this.
If i sync to the NAS it works fine.
Please help its driving me nuts
Error code 5 issue:Access is denied

This is probably the normal permission issue where the user on one laptop does not have write permissions on the folder that the other laptop is sharing.
