"You Need Permission to Perform this Action" error message when trying to transfer files

I have transferred files to and within Seagate with no problem.  Just today I  noticed an error message when trying to do so.  The m essage says "You need permission to perform this action" and gives me only the option of cancelling or "trying again" which yields the same result.  No prompts for a password or any other direction is given.  I cannot add files to any of the Seagate drives.  Any ideas? Thanks

Is this a GoFlex Home or GoFlex Net?

 

Thanks,

Roby!

Re: "You Need Permission to Perform this Action" error message when trying to transfer fi

Hello. I am having the same issue with a GoFlex Home

 

I have two Go Flex Home drives on my network and I have used your utility to change the NetBios name on the second drive.

 

I have turned off remote networking on the second drive as well as use UPnP. I can map by NetBios name to the drive and use the original account created to map it however it seems not to be working. Thoughts?

I am having the same issue with a GoFlex Home.  I did not have this problem upon installation only after rebooting.  Please advise.  Thanks.
