I've got a Seagate PersonalCloud with over 3tb of space I'm not using that I'd like to put up for hosting.  There's a portion of that drive that is "public" and can be used without having to logon to my account.  When I try to select a folder within that as my host storage folder, I get the error "symlink W:\Sia C:\Users\SantasNotReal\AppData\Roaming\Sia-UI\sia\host\storagemanager\b5d869e5: A required privilege is not held by the client."

Can anyone help me troubleshoot this? Thanks!

Running SIA as administrator fixed this for me. Hope that helps.

Why can't SIA UI client work just as any other Windows appliucation? Usually it's not necessary to grant an administrator's priveleges to BitTorrent client, for example.
