AE Scripts Error: Folder.userData = null

Thank you @JohnColombo17100380 and to your team. I can only imagine its a complex issue not to mention working alongside 3rd parties to resolve issue. Appreciate the efforts and update to resolve this issue.

This thread is a year old, but it still works. My computer is monitored by IT at the company I work for. I followed the exact steps from JacobACrocker and it worked. Deleting the desktop folder inside of library after accessing the Go menu is exactly what needs to happen. Replace it with your own desktop folder and you're good to go. 

So I am also dealing with the problem on my company Mac and running AE 2024. And we do use OneDrive. I am chatting with our IT to see if I'm allow to disable that syncing setting. In the meantime, is Adobe aware of the issue and making amends to an update to solve it??

The only way I got it to work was to stop it syncing the Desktop and Documents folders on the mac. I had to work with my IT department and get permission to do so, but once that was done the problem was fixed. I'm not sure if it has been fixed on Adobe's end, but that is a Onedrive solution on how to address. See screenshot below on where this is in the UI.

Is there any update on being able to use scripts while also using OneDrive cloud sync on a Mac? It is a deal-breaking issue for some of us.

Exact same issue here after we rolled out OneDrive to our Mac users.

Removing the Desktop and Documents folders from OneDrive is not a viable option for many colleagues in my organization (and possibly many others) as that effectively breaks backups for them. 

I don't see such issues on Windows where we are using the same OneDrive backup feature that redirects the Desktop and Document folder.

This is not a OneDrive issue but an After Effects one.

I would therefore kindly ask that Adobe looks into this and fixes it on their side.

@JohnColombo17100380 , I can confirm that OneDrive syncing the 'Desktop' and 'Documents' folders on the mac is the culprit in my case. I was able to stop syncing to test this, and once I did, those folders reverted back to how they were, and the scripts now function again. 

Stopping syncing isn't a great solution as that is considered the default cloud storage for me, but just as a test I completely stopped and removed it and now it works. The folders now act as they should and aren't pointing to the OneDrive directory as my previous post.

Also I noticed the Desktop and Documents folder now points to a location within the OneDrive directory. i.e the Documents folder when viewed in finder has a shortcut which points to:

../Library/CloudStorage/OneDrive-Deloitte(O365D)/Documents

Seems to be changed now that OneDrive backs up those files. And for me its certainly a policy change in terms of how Onedrive functions on my machine.

Thank you for replying @JohnColombo17100380. I've been at the end of a production deadline so catching up on updates to this. Very interesting as my machine is also managed by at IT team and I would say strict requirements. They also use OneDrive and recently starting backing up the Desktop and MyDocuments by default via OneDrive (on Mac). I have yet to try any of the suggestions below, but wanted to update you on the similar setup here.
