  Hi Darren,
I have had this same problem many times. I have sent a PDF of my Zim notes via wormhole. Just go to this URL to get it. Multiple copies available for a 24 hour period.
Wormhole - Simple, private file sharing

Wormhole lets you share files with end-to-end encryption and a link that automatically expires.

 Hi Darren

This is almost certainly a permissions issue. Assuming you have formated it 
with Linux partitions, they will have inherited the permissions of the user 
who formated it.

If you then copy data to and from it, the permissions work in the same way as 
if you copied data between two different users.

The simple answer is to access it as root and then there should be no 
problems. The better answer is to sort out the permissions.
