Solutions:
1. Please make sure the user account you login has the access privilege to the destination path. You can
check if you are able to create a file on the destination drive.
2. If you sync file to an external disk, please check if the external disk is hooked up. Please re-insert
it and try again. And, please make sure that the drive letter of the external disk doesn't
change.
3. If you sync to NAS, please re-connect the NAS. Maybe the NAS is disconnected for some reasons.
If there is still any problem, please feel free to contact our AOMEI
