Hello, I'm having some trouble building the Android APK for my game.

I'm really not well-versed in Python, but it seems to be a permission error caused by Python failing to call a directory in Windows, maybe?

Code:
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "game/android.rpy", line 528, in <module>
  File "game/android.rpy", line 224, in android_build
PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied: 'C:\\Users\\usr\\Google Drive\\works\\renpy build directories\\renpy-7.4.11-sdk\\tmp\\Singularity\\android.dist\\assets\\game\\audio\\music'

I am running Ren'Py as an administrator and I'm using the latest version of Python.

I'm curious if anyone knows of some way for a simple-minded person like myself to solve this problem.

Thanks!
