I'm

Ever since upgrading my phone to Android 6.0 recently, I have not been able to access my Calibre library through CC. Every time I attempt to access my library, whether through the content server, as a wireless device or via the Cloud, I immediately receive an error message that CC cannot connect because the files are stored in a read-only folder. I was previously able to access my Calibre database on my phone and am still able to access it on my tablet (which still has KitKat), but I cannot access it on my phone. I tried resetting the connection, but still receive the same error message.

I have tried unchecking the "read only" box in Windows, and it appears to apply this characteristic, but when I next open the directory the "read only" box is again checked.

Why would CC be unable to read the same directory in Lollipop that it is able to read in KitKat? Is there a workaround to this problem, or might it be fixed in a future CC update? After having only recently uploaded my Calibre Library to the cloud and using CC to access it, I would very much hate to suddenly lose access due to an operating system quirk.

Please advise how I can resolve this problem. Thanks in advance for any information you may provide.
