I'm running into an issue using Robocopy with Sandboxie on Windows 10. I want to copy files from a Sandboxie folder to a mapped NAS drive, but it looks like the files are ending up in Sandboxie's share folder instead of the intended destination. My setup has the NAS shared folder mounted as the Z: drive. I've tried various commands from inside the sandbox and even tried copying with a plain copy command, which worked fine. It seems that when I'm using Robocopy from within the sandbox, the files get redirected to a different location. Is there a way to make it write directly to the mapped drive? Anyone have similar experiences or tips on this?

What NAS are you using? It might help if you could set up a scheduled task on your NAS that grabs files from a specified folder on your main machine instead of pushing them from the sandbox. That way, you add a layer of protection for your backups. But I'm also confused about how Sandboxie handles file transfers—what exactly are you trying to back up?
Have you tried using the full path for the source file while executing Robocopy? Sometimes just specifying the file name isn’t enough. Also, you might want to omit the file name in the destination path; just set it to the destination folder. You could also try using the UNC path for your destination!
Sounds like this might be a feature of Sandboxie rather than a bug. The whole point of a sandbox is to isolate processes, so it makes sense that files wouldn’t leave unless explicitly allowed. Have you tried just using regular copy/paste to see if that works? Also, you might want to check if there are any settings in Sandboxie that could control file access between the sandbox and your system.
