https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Workstation-Pro/Linux-2-drives-question/m-p/2883295#M173023 <P>So I am trying Linux mint because I am tired of Microsoft's mandatory updating, which is working well except for 1 thing I am having a hard time with.</P><P>I have my 20gb OS drive and a 600gb spare drive connected, however I cannot copy from a shared folder to the spare drive directly. I have opened the spare drive as administrator and I can transfer items from desktop to the spare drive as administrator and from the shared folder to desktop, but i cannot transfer from the shared folder to the spare drive directly and vice versa, I get a access denied popup and I cannot open the shared folder as administrator because it says it is not a folder.</P><P>Is there a way to transfer from a spare drive to the shared folder without being too complicated? Or basically accessing both locations without the need of being the superuser. It seems a bit ridiculous to not be able to do this seeing how I own the PC and having to share folders on the same PC is below that of windows to be honest, I mean it is easy to remove UAC on windows and all.</P><P>If i need to take a screenshot to show you what is going on I do not even know how to do that so far.</P> Tue, 14 Dec 2021 11:06:28 GMT bobrpggamer 2021-12-14T11:06:28Z https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Workstation-Pro/Linux-2-drives-question/m-p/2883295#M173023 <P>So I am trying Linux mint because I am tired of Microsoft's mandatory updating, which is working well except for 1 thing I am having a hard time with.</P><P>I have my 20gb OS drive and a 600gb spare drive connected, however I cannot copy from a shared folder to the spare drive directly.
