LRC Warning Message

  • October 28, 2021

Whenever I start LR Classic (currently V11 but same behavior with V10), I get the following warning (see attached screenshot). I click OK and everything seems to work.

 

Any idea why this occurs and can I get rid of it?

The suggestions are wrong. This is a different problem. What happened is that the destination folder of images synced down from the cloud was reset to your root user folder. Lightroom does not, and should not, have permissions to write to this folder. Go to Preferences - Lightroom Sync and choose another destination folder location.

Thanks...giving LRC Full Disk Access did not help, either.

And, assuming Catalina or beyond, Security & Privacy, Privacy, Files and Folders, LrC needs rights to various volumes

Yep - that too. It is strange since once I click 'OK' everything seems to work.

Click Show in Finder, look at the access rights.
