Question

Could not copy files to the destination folder because it is not writable!

Hi! I hope the community will be able to help me with this situation.

 

I own a Canon R6 and I have just bought a MacbookPro and I was looking forward to start editing but lightroom is giving me a error. (See photo attached)

"Could not copy files to the destination folder because it is not writable" so, I have updated both Mac software and Lightroom, I have change the permission to Read & Write on the specific destination folder, I have restarted the laptop a couple of times just to make sure an update wouldn´t pop up and still nothing. I am writting in the off chance that this may have happened to someone before.

 

Thanks in advance.

Make sure that you've given LrC 'Full Disk Access" as described in https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-discussions/quick-tips-how-to-give-full-disk-access-to-lightroom-classic-on-macos/td-p/12913413

If your computer is running Ventura, then the attached screenshot may be more meaningful than that shown in above linked tutorial.
