Hey driceman1086, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
Could you send us a screenshot of the exact error you're getting so that we can have a visual too?
Also, what is the desktop app's version and status as shown in your menu bar/system tray?
Can you access those folders normally from your backups page?
Keep me posted!
