# Error Message: Invalid archive folder/Couldn't create archive subfolder

## Problem:

Synk is unable to access or create an archive folder for the current run.

This error often occurs because Synk does not have permission to create a new archive subfolder inside the archive folder specified.

## Try the following:

- Ensure that the archive folder is accessible from the Finder.
- If the archive folder is on a network volume, ensure the username used to log into the server has permission to access and create items in the archive folder.
- Std/Pro: If the archive folder is on a non-network volume, run the script as root to ensure Synk has permission to work in the archive folder.
