Hello.,

I would appreciate some help on dropbox folder which I could only view due to the owner's restriction on my windows machine. The problem is when I tried to "mirror sync" the content of dropbox folder to my custom location but was greeted by a $Lock Error from FreeFileSync. My understanding is because the folder is read-only hence FreeFileSync was not able to put lock for basic sync operations.

Is there a way out of this situation where FreeFileSync work on such view-only folders.

Thank you, will appreciate any help.
