The folder “G-DRIVE Mobile” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents

I keep getting this message when I try to open and use my G-Drive Thunderbolt on my Macbook Pro “The folder “G-DRIVE Mobile” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents.” Not sure what changed but I have a number of important files. It shows up in Finder and in the disk utility. Any ideas?

Same issue here :frowning: Did you ever figure out the reason and a solution?
