Hello everybody.
I have the following problem and I am writing to ask for help.
I do folder mirror between a network folder and a local on NTFS file system on Windows 10:
\\ network-folder
C: \ local-folder
After the syncronization when I try to work on a local file, for example C: \ locale-folder\project.dwg the software tells me that I don't have access rights so I can not edit the file.
If I manually copy \\ network-folder in C: \ local-folder everything works fine.
Freefilesync runs with administrator privileges.
How come it doesn't work? Colud you help me?

That is most likely the issue.Freefilesync runs with administrator privileges.
When you "run as admin", you are not you, but rather "admin".
So when the file is copied over, it belongs to admin, not you.
Run FFS as a normal user & see if you can then open the file as wanted.
(And I'll suspect that Window Explorer is copying as using your privileges rather then admin.)
