This is a common error:
 No UID for com.goodsync.android,

The error can only mean one of two things, and likely only the first:
 a. Either I guessed at the package name wrongly (almost certainly)
 b. Or you have other user accounts on your device (not likely)

It's almost certainly that I didn't guess correctly on the package name. 

Muntashirakon App Manager will also find the correct package name for you.
 <https://github.com/MuntashirAkon/AppManager>

You can also use adb to find the package name if you're willing to grep:
 adb shell pm list packages | findstr /i goodsync

However, if it's the fact that it's installed in another profile, try this:
 adb shell pm list packages --user all | findstr /i goodsync

Once you have the correct package name, you can try to set permissions.
 adb shell appops set com.siber.gsserver MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE allow

If it showed up under a different user (e.g., user 150) use this:
 adb shell appops set --user 150 com.siber.gsserver MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE allow

Let us know how it works out as this is a general process for all apps.
