LrC problem with importing images

After the last update from LrC, I get the message that I can no longer import images.

The message is "Cannot copy a file to the destination folder because it is not writable" do you know how to fix this? thanks in advance.

What is the destination folder? Lightroom does not have permissions to write to this folder.

 

Also note this: Apple changed the security requirements in MacOS Monterey. Go to MacOS 'System Settings - Security & Privacy' and add Lightroom Classic and Photoshop to "Full Disk Access". Click on the lock icon to unlock the settings, then click on the plus icon to add Lightroom Classic and/or Photoshop if it isn't already listed. If it is listed, then just enable the checkbox.
