If you check the most popular responses you'll find my post on a temp solution by simply saving to the desktop.  Clunky, but it works.

Same problem here. Combination. of Photoshop 2020 and Mac Catalina does not allow to save work. Lost plenty of hours already. Problem was not there with PS 2019.

Photoshop 2020 21.0.1 release.  After editing a photo on Photoshop 2020 and going to save, to reimport into LR, the frame stays at saving 99%.  It will not get to 100%. What should I do?

Maybe format to other thing than exfat // maybe try to found to full disk access to Extrernal drive or put all permission on this disk .
