so I have multiple disks on my pc and i have to transfer files from my android to those specific files( I don't have to paste them to the "home" but those specific disks) but I am not able to paste them there
like the option to paste is not just availble tho i transfer files to other areas easily

Are you using Linux Mint Cinnamon edition?

yup

Open a terminal and run sudo nemo. It will open a new window with elevated privileges. This may allow you to paste

I have due to some reason access to the old files that were in that local disk in windows
which is weird because i thought that i totally removed everything

#

if that helps

Then I don't know, sadly. You'll have to Google your issues and/or wait for someone to help you here. I'm not the most familiar with Linux partitions, but it looks like the partition you're trying to paste to is read-only. If you don't mind destroying all of the information on the partition, you could use GParted to format it

There's a Disks app that comes with Linux Mint that you can use to visualize your paritions

#

You can probably use that to fix it somehow

#

You can select the one you want to paste to and maybe try mounting it or unmounting it and trying

Probably NTFS owned by root or something

Glad you fixed it

yea

Most of the times, drives may be owned by root or not properly formatted. Using disks solves this

and that's how it's working

mark this as solved
