b. Click on ‘Security tab’.

2. Try to open the files, and if the issue persists, share drive to get permissions by following the below steps:

c. Select ‘Share’ tab, and click ‘Advanced’.

d. Select ‘Share this folder’.

e. Click ‘Permissions’ button.

f. Add ‘Everyone’ and select ‘Full control’.

3. Change the drive letter of SanDisk micro SD card by following the below steps:



a. Press ‘Windows key + R’ together to open ‘Run command’.

b. Type ‘diskmgmt.msc’ without quotes, and press enter.

c. Right click on the SanDisk micro SD card, and select ‘Change drive letter and paths’.
