Cannot open images on HD

when I try to open any of mages on my 2TB my book studio drive on my imac with 10.10 - I get " the file img… couldn’t be opened because you don’t have permission to view it"

    • if I drag to my desktop it opens fine.

this is only one of my three similar drives that is giving me this problem

Welcome to the Community.

It would appear the permission/properties assigned to this hard drive are corrupted. I’d recommend running a file system scan using Disk Utility’s First Aid tool:
