Hi Andria,

Something does not seem right here, as we're not able to see the drive's name in-front of Available space on, could you please share Lightroom's Help > System Info dialog text here? As it would be helpful for us to check the version & configuration.

Have you tried restarting the computer and see if it helps?

What location have you set for storing local originals?

Regards,
Sahil

I have tried restarting various times, and It does not make a difference, and the drive name does appear in-front of Available space on, but the screenshot didnt capture it for some reason, but here is a picture of the system info:

Also the location where local originals are stored is:

/Users/andriahooper/Pictures/Lightroom Library.Irlibrary

I believe there is a option under this that says the % you allow Lightroom to use of the hd and those numbers are derived from that percentage you choose.
