Windows 10: How do I allow access to Picture, Document Photos etc after W10 upgrad

Hi All,

I'm a newbie and did look for the same question, found something similar but still not the issue im having. Since the W10 upgrade i cant save to any Photos, Document or sub folders of the like. I get the error in the photo.

Its the same error I get from any sub folder as If its trying to save to a different user.

Its driving me crazy any help appreciated. One suggestion I tried was under properties of each folder ticking the read only box at the bottom and that didnt help. Thanks in advance.

:)

 

access to files

My wife and I upgraded to Windows 10...now all the documents and photos we had on the computer are only showing up when I am logged on (she is not pleased to be cut off from her pictures); how do I allow both of us to access the files on this computer?

Thanks...

 

Confused

What does this do that I can't do with Live Mesh and Windows Live services (Contacts, Calendar, Photos, SkyDrive, etc). With Windows Live services all my data is stored elsewhere off my phone. So if I need to replace my phone, I haven't really lost anything.
Live Mesh not only allows me keep some document folders stored/sync'd to my phone but it also allows me to remote access the desktop storage on the occassion I need that. Sharing documents, photos, etc can easily be done in Live SkyDrive, etc.

 

Is your username Daniel or GDPPA?

You may just need to transfer ownership of those folders over to your new user account *Smile

I personally make my changes using method 4, you can use whatever method you prefer. Seems like 1 may be the simplest and easiest. I still prefer method 4.

 

Thanks for the reply. My name is Daniel but we log in with L: gdppa@........com etc so its almost like its made a second account. Il have a crack at the link and see how i fair thanks again.

 

Ive tried both options 1 and 4 and while it looks successful at the time i still get the same denied error. Any other suggestions?

 

What specific folder did you take ownership of? Did you take over the entire user Daniel?

 

Hi Chris,

Ive tried taking ownership of the Daniel user folder and all sub folders after that didnt work. Still cant save getting the same permissions error. any other thoughts. Think I'm going to head back to 8.1 on this machine atleast

 

Do all windows updates. You can create a new profile to see if you still get the same issues. Once you take ownership of files you need to modify permissions for that folder and give your user permission to edit and modify and all that good stuff.
