subject: trouble copying folder to shared drive

Hi Biodesign Helpdesk representative,

I needed to copy a 78.7 GB folder to my folder on the shared drive at the following location: S:\Research\Cancer_Eradication\Users\kwhittem

However, when I tried to do this, I received an error that stated "

"Cannot copy 11-1-1...\: Access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use."

The file currently being copied was .DS_Store

Wait a minute. . maybe this .DS_Store is the problem

.DS_Store is a hidden file with a proprietary format created by OS X to store custom attributes of a folder such as the position of icons or the choice of a background image.2

After deleting this .DS_Store file I was able to copy everything over

okay now I'll pick up where I left off making revisions
