Error Message About Catalog Folders

Question

Hello all, hoping for some help on an error message I've never seen before. Opened up LR and got the below box message, can someone tell me what it means? I did recently add a 2024 folder, and I can see the contents when I click on them. Thanks in advance.

There are a few reasons you could get this dialog. First of all, Lightroom Classic needs 'Full Disk Access' and this could be reset during an upgrade of MacOS or Lightroom. Here's how to do that: https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-discussions/quick-tips-how-to-give-full-disk-access-to-lightroom-classic-on-macos/td-p/12913413

Another possibility is that the destination folder for synced images got reset, to a folder where Lightroom Classic has no access (even with 'Full Disk Access' not all folders are accessible to Lightroom!). Go to Preferences - Lightroom Sync and check what destination folder is set. Make sure it is a folder inside your Home folder (or on an external disk), not the 'Users' folder and not a folder at the root of Macintosh HD.
