Yeah, I know you will say, share the drives. I did docker run --rm -v c:/Users:/data alpine ls /data

All Users
CatalystOne
Default
Default User
DupinderDhiman
Public
desktop.ini

this command runs very well

So the problem is not related to drive sharing

okay next problem may be related to c:/specificFolder permissions. I did I checked all the checkboxes in sharing permission

Now I am stuck

So after spending some time, I remember I created one user to share drives for Docker with name dockerUser

So the Permission I gave are just for Administrative user My own User DupinderDhiman but not for dockerUser

So Goto C:/user/DupinderDhiman/.docker right click goto properties goto security tab Click on Edit button "To change permission, click Edit" and then click the Add button

now click Advance > then on new dialogue find Find button in the bottom you will find one list, find DockerUser > Select it to press okay

Okay Okay Okay > apply changes

Close all the open dialogs with okay Apply changes and run the command. See you will not have this error now.
