Error message when copying folder from iPhone app to PC through iTunes file sharing.

I'm attempting to move a relatively large folder of mp3s and other audio files from an application called FL Studio Mobile to my Windows computer. When I attempt to save this folder to the desired location on my PC, I'm met with an error that reads:


"*Folder name* could not be copied because an error occurred. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."


I've tried to use answers from similar questions but they seem to all be solutions for Mac. What access priv. am I lacking and where can I change that setting, whether it be in iTunes or my file explorer? Thanks.


Windows, Windows 10

You can try Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows - Apple Community with the location where you want the data saved, in case it really is a permissions issue. Personally I have a File Sharing folder inside my iTunes Media folder for all of this content. You might try temporarily disabling any anti-virus software if the first tip hasn't helped. If you still cannot get iTunes file sharing to work can you copy the data into iCloud Drive or another service like OneDrive or Dropbox?
