Im a mac user, When I try to sync my external Adobe Lightroom folders the process fails and I get the following error messages. I don't know what they mean so don't know how to resolve the problem.

16:35:07 Warning Cannot set directory locks for the following folders:
"/Volumes/GREEEN 2TB"
Cannot write file "/Volumes/GREEEN 2TB/sync.ffs_lock".
Error Code 13: Permission denied [open]
"/Volumes/MASTER"
Cannot write file "/Volumes/MASTER/sync.ffs_lock".
Error Code 13: Permission denied [open]

The message is pretty clear:
FreeFileSync (FFS) tries to write the files "/Volumes/GREEEN 2TB/sync.ffs_lock" and "/Volumes/MASTER/sync.ffs_lock" but the user under which user-credentials FFS is run does have at least no write-access in those folders.

Thank you but I"m tech illiterate enough not to understand why I wouldn't have access to the drives or files within the drives (since I own/created them) and as a result don't know how to solve the problem
