Hello,

I'm not able to upload images to Lightroom Classic. My error message reads that the files are either not writeable or there is a storage issue. Can anyone tell me how to know which problem it is and how to clear up storage space?

Please use the word "Import" not "upload", you are trying to import photos. Please check the free space on the disk where the photos are supposed to be stored by the Import process ... it is called the Destination folder in the Import dialog box. Also check the permissions on the exact folder where the photos will be stored by the Import process, this folder (not the disk) must have write permission.

 

Here is where you find the Destination folder on the right side of the Import Dialog box

Have you checked the 'lock' on the memory card? If its in the lock position, that might be why they wont transfer
