Permission Problem I think?

[Matt8445]

I have a desktop I was running a 1TB Sata SSD with the OS, Programs, things like that on there then a bigger drive for storage.  I use google drive and dropbox a lot for work and had both synced to the larger storage drive as their directory. 

 

What I am running into is some type of a mess at the moment.  My drive was clicking so I decided to clone it.  I put in a larger 6TB WD Black and just dropped the old drive and the new drive in one of those SATA offline cloning things. That seemed to work well.  I went into the disk manager expanded the partition because I was coming from a 4TB. I thought I took permission of the drive because it was not letting me actually access the drive until I did.

 

Now I am finding there are a lot of files that are there, but I cannot actually open.  Mainly image files.  I have sort of stuck with the pictures directory and made sub directories for different events.  I can go into a directory.  See the images without any thumbnail or anything, then when I click on them I cannot open them.  What I am trying to determine is since these files are in say google drive, it there some issue with the accessing and permissions from the clone?  The files still have a real file size to them that makes sense.  

 

What is really funny is the same thing is happening for directories in Google Drive and drop box.  

 

My only wonder is if the permission or ownership are not syncing???

 

Attached are a couple of screen grabs from some directories with images.  You can see a bunch appear correct then suddenly they get the generic thumbnail and are inaccessible.

 

Anyone have any insight into this?  

 

Thank you,

Matt

What error do you get when you try to open a photo?

Also can you copy one file to your desktop and try to open it there?

If you right click and go to properties what does the Security tab look like?

Screen shot of what I get.  It is not an error, it just says it cannot open the file. 

 

I can open the file on google drive in a browser, but no on my local machine, very odd.

 

I can copy and paste, but I still cannot open after that, same issue.

Doesn't look like a permission issue.

 

It could be your local copies of the files got corrupted somehow.
