Hi, You can try following code block to check if the directory is having Write Access. It checks the FileSystemAccessRule. string directoryPath = "C:\\XYZ"; //folderBrowserDialog.SelectedPath; bool isWriteAccess = false; try { AuthorizationRuleCollection collection = Directory.GetAccessControl(directoryPath).GetAccessRules(true, true, typeof(System.Security.Principal.NTAccount)); foreach (FileSystemAccessRule rule in collection) { if (rule.AccessControlType == AccessControlType.Allow) { isWriteAccess = true; break; } } } catch (UnauthorizedAccessException ex) { isWriteAccess = false; } catch (Exception ex) { isWriteAccess = false; } if (!isWriteAccess) { //handle notifications }
