Hi,
I have been using Photos on my iMAC with my single photo library located in my NAS Drive.
As it is quite slow to always access the NAS, I have decided to move the library to my iMAC locally, and do a backup once in a while instead. But I don't know how to get it work.

I first closed photos by Cmd+Q, then I drag and drop the photo library (80gb) from my NAS Drive onto the desktop of my iMAC. It took a few minutes to "Prepare for copying" and then it stopped and told me that I do not have the permission.

(Note that I am able to copy any other files from my NAS by drag and drop, i just am not able to copy the library..)

Appreciate your help.
