Can't Save in Dreamweaver

Question

I was editing my index.HTML file in Dreamweaver 2018 and I got the error "An unknown error occurred while accessing [local file location]" I noticed there was a newer Dreamweaver so I opened Dreamweaver 2019 hoping that would fix the error, sadly it did not. I did spend some time looking for an answer online, but I did not find anything that helped.Not really sure why this happened, I never had this problem before.I did look at the permissions and it's set for me to read & write, same with the folder and drive.Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Some things to try.Go to File > SaveAs > new_filename.html to your primary hard drive. Do not save files to cloud storage or dropbox, etc...Open your code in another plain text editor like Notepad or Brackets and see if you can save it from there.Run your code through validation and fix all reported errors.The W3C Markup Validation Service The W3C CSS Validation Service

Question: I cannot save or open a file in Adobe Dreamweaver? Answer: I was having trouble with Adobe Dreamweaver and could not save, open, edit, etc. any of the files that I had saved on my Macbook computer. I found the issue and resolved it. Adobe Dreamweaver asks that you have a root folder, if you do not have a root folder then there is no clear connection between your root folder and the local files stored on your laptop. To solve this issue you will want to *manage your sites* and select one that is tied to your local files. From there, you can name it whatever you want! Just don't change the address.
