## Description

File Not Found errors are caused by us not being able to find and download the file in the store. 

{% hint style="info" %}
During the scan stage of a migration (the first step), Movebot builds a map of all files to be transferred. If files change after the scan, this can cause issues.
{% endhint %}

## Common Root Causes

* The file has been moved
* The file is not accessible due to permissions
* The filename has changed

## Quick Fixes

* Check that the connected account has appropriate permissions to download the affected files.

After attempting a fix, rerun failures or run a new delta migration to see if the error is resolved.
