Mapped shared not seen by filebot

Post by fenriwolf »

Hi All

I have a problem where my mapped share z: that is a network drive is not seen by filebot, he cant see Z: when searching for it.
I cant drag any files from the network drive and paste in filebot.

Using Windows 10
Updated the Java to 64bit, since i had earlier problem where renaming did not work.

If a network drive doesn't work, try \\server\shares instead and see if that works.

If drag and drop doesn't work it's usually a permission issue.

link to the screenshoot showing how it looks when browsing from filebot and when browsing from explorer.

The share i try to find is Y and Z as the pic shows...

I start filebot as admin.
The share have no login, anyone on the network can access them.

But only filebot will not see them.

What if you click Network instead of This PC?

Do not run FileBot as admin. Windows Explorer is running as your normal user, so if you run FileBot as admin the two processes owned by different users won't be able to communicate.

* Windows doesn't allow drag and drop between processes that belong to different users (presumably for security reasons)
* Network shares mounted as one user (your normal user) won't necessarily be available to other users (admin)
