Hi guys,

This LRC message seems quite ominous and ... I have no clue what it's about or means.

Any ideas? Please see attached

 

Thanks a lot,

Raphael

Correct answer CumberLinda

Have you rebooted the Mac? That can sort out many odd problems. Maybe not this one, but it's easy to try.

Like @CumberLinda said, programs will never be able to write into /Users. That is a system locked folder. You must have set up the sync location wrong in the Lightroom Classic Sync preferences. Just go into Preferences->Lightroom Sync and set it to a location where your user has write access which is usually somewhere in your own home folder like in the pictures folder there.

Thank you Jao, but it seems it's already in Pictures - please see attachment.

If you click Show In Finder, which folder is opened in Finder?

Programs can write to subfolders in /Users but not to /Users itself. If you've set up /Users to receive syncing photos and videos, you'll need to change that. 

Granting LrC Full Disk Access is also important for other LrC functions.

Full Disk access was not enough; so can you kindly tell me what's next ... step-by-step, please 🙂

Thank you.
