[QUOTE="Sherman Homan, post: 543301, member: 22094"] Flavian, I think you got figured out! The permissions settings for the Public Drop Box were probably Write Only when you put the files in. So now the Mac is respecting that. Or there is a more general permissions problem. This is a source of great confusion and controversy. :Grimmace: You can suffer through the coping process, then delete the originals. You can run Disk Utility, Repair Disk Permissions, see if that helps. You can run Terminal, sudo, chown, which is probably your best bet. [/QUOTE]
