Describe your issue

Hello all,

I was attempting to add the below mentioned path to syncthing as a folder to sync, since I understood the /home/yunohost.multimedia/{user}/ folder is available to all apps, and received the following error.
Anyone has any idea what this might be due to? Would appreciate any ideas :folded_hands:

Ok, sorry, chown fixed it. cat /etc/passwd | grep sync told me there is indeed a user called syncthing (facepalm) and chown gave it the permissions… Hope this might help someone in the future…
