Hi everyone,

I use google drive sync my project through 2 PC.

When I start dvc repro on the second PC I encounter with an error.

I guess that problem is permission of folders, but I can’t find for new version of GD an ability to change a permission. There is no well known ability to change the permision of directory or files.

Does anyone anyone encountered with the same problem?

Is GD - Google Drive? You can try moving dvc repo or dvc’s cache to a location where you have write permissions.

```console
dvc cache dir /dir/where/you/have/write/permissions

```

See [cache dir](https://dvc.org/doc/command-reference/cache/dir).

Thank you fro your reply.

I guess this setting of cache directory will be applyied on the another pc bacause of Google Drive syncing.
