Issues with saving in Photoshop

Question

We are experiencing an issue with Photoshop on our MacBooks. Essentially, Photoshop is unable to overwrite existing files. This happens both when using the normal save function (Command + S) and when using Save As with the same filename.

When we try to save, Photoshop displays the error message "Disk Error", and the file is not saved

The scratch disk is not full, and the issue only occurs when working with files stored on our file server. We have also verified the file permissions, and everything appears to be correct, with the affected users having the necessary read and write permissions.

This issue occurs on all of our macOS computers, including macOS Sonoma, macOS Sequoia, and macOS Tahoe.

Working directly over a network/server is not supported and generally very risky. It works until one day it doesn’t. Save problems and corrupted files can happen.

Save to local internal drive; then copy over.

That's good advice. Working directly over a network share can lead to file corruption if the connection drops or the save process is interrupted.

A safer workflow is to edit the files on your local drive, make sure everything is saved correctly, and then copy or upload the updated files to the server. It only takes an extra step, but it can save a lot of headaches later.
