Could not copy a file to the destination folder because it is not writable

Question

I have been scanning a lot of photographs and trying to use the shortcuts that exist in Lightroom when importing them.

I probably used an incorrect shortcut incorrectly, which caused the error and I am having immense difficulty getting out of.

I checked the permissions in the folder and they seem to be correct.

I even asked Germini and ChatGPT but the answers were inconclusive, not allowing me to overcome the problem.

I would not want to reinstall Lightroom in any way because it makes me waste a lot of time.
Does anyone here have any interesting and useful suggestion for this purpose ?

I would be very grateful.

Just to be sure, there are at least four types of permissions to check in macOS now:

For the destination folder:

Finder, File > Get Info / Locked (should be deselected)

Finder, File > Get Info / Sharing and Permissions (should be Read/Write)

For the Lightroom Classic application:

System Settings / Full Disk Access (Lightroom Classic should be listed and granted)

System Settings / Privacy & Security (Lightroom Classic should be listed and granted if not already in Full Disk Access)

Also, is the destination folder cloud-synced in any way? (Dropbox, OneDrive, iCloud Drive, Google Drive…)

Or is the destination folder mounted over a network? (NAS, macOS/Windows File Sharing, etc…)
