This error shows up in really inappropriate times and places.

Currently I am setting up SyncThing and it refuses to let me synch my Download folder on internal storage.

How do I work around this?

Hi,

This showed up for me too some time ago, when trying to set up GoodSync (another file sync program). In fact, it showed up again after a while.

Unfortunately, I do not remember what I did exactly (possibly a simple reboot), and it somehow went away. What happened, if you managed to solve it, in your case?
