Problem backing up LRC catalog. "check folder permission and available space......"

Question

Has anyone else received an Lightroom error when backing up the catalog as follows:, "Please check your folders permission and make sure that you have available space on your backup drive and main catalogs drive."I had a corrupt catalog yesterday, but it repaired itself, but now will not back up and gives me that error. I'm on a 2019 Macbook  Pro (Big Slur V 11.2.3).I checked the folder permission and I have 'read and write' permissions. Shouldn't be an issue. I have the default location of catalog backup to my documents folder (icloud drive).Finder says icloud is full, but whenn I clikc on icloud storage it say I have 57 gb available.If I need to upgrade to icloud 2tb program, I will, but want to see if there are any known issues first or if it just me.I even tried to backup the catalog to my drobo which has 70 tb of space, still the same error.I have not upgraded my system software, but adobe does upgrade it's LR and PS in the background.I admit, my LR catalog is huge (200K photos) and not sure it that's the issue.Any help is appreciated.

A catalog with 200,000 images is not huge. That will not be the issue. The error message does not only suggest lack of space on the destination drive a a possible cause, but also on the main catalog drive (your internal drive). Could that be the issue? As iCloud drive is mirrored to a local folder, this would also explain why the Finder says that iCloud drive is full.
