Hello,

 

I am using the PS 22.1.1 version and when I try to save for web I get the error. "Adobe Save For Web Error A write permissions error has occurred " 

 

Any help?

    Photoshop still not able to <Save for web> with Dropbox backup enabled. Fiddly and inconvenient to disable.

    Workaround : In Photoshop <Save for web>, Click <Preview> button bottom-left; your animated GIF will open in your default browser, right-click the gif in the browser and <Save image …> either to Downlaods or nominated folder.

    Same issue for a fresh system build of a 2019 Macbook Pro (Intel) running MacOS 13.0.1, Adobe Photoshop 24.0.1, and Dropbox v163.3.5436. 
    The problem has been solved by taking these s    teps: 

    1. Disable Dropbox Backups while keeping all files on computer
    2. Restart Mac Finder after it crashes
    3. Test Save For Web functionality from Adobe Photoshop 24.0.1
    4. Saved file successfully to the Desktop
    5. Reenable Dropbox Backup for Desktop only
    6. Restart Mac Finder after crash
    7. Test Save For Web functionality from Adobe Photoshop 24.0.1
    8. Saved file successfully to the Desktop


    I spent an hour with Dropbox support and informed them to the problem and solution. Fingers crossed whatever this bug is it will be fixed

    Why can't this be fixed instead of us (paying customers) having to do workarounds. And why does it work one day and not the next? Why is Canva all the way around easier and doesn't cost a thing vs. the ridiculous cost of an Adobe product that I never know will work?!?

    The solution is in this thread - it takes 30 seconds and only needs to be done once. This is not actually an Adobe issue - it is to do with file permissions using Dropbox.

    • Turning Dropbox sync off and on again is a non-trivial exercise. 30 seconds was incorrect for me.
    • Given no other app's – or even Photoshop – 'Save' interaction with Dropbox seems to be affected, Adobe seems to have implemented an unconventional approach for 'Save for web' that's uniquely triggered a conflict with Dropbox. So, I'd expect Adobe to take responsibility and the intitiative here.
    • Adobe should be aware a signigicant chunk of their users would use Dropbox, and collaborate with Dropbox if a solution is beyond their scope. But, again, no other 'Save' function with Dropbox is affected, so I'd imagine there are inhouse solutions available to Adobe.
    • @Loxley A22451104mfpt is correct that paying customers will always be evalauting against challenger competitors such as Canva, which is surprisingly capable and beginning to resonate with Adobe Indesign v Quark Xpress back in the day.

        Hi This just happened to me. 

         

        I followed the Dropbox instructions and it's worked. Though as I'm constatnly saving ps files for web and need my Dropbox to be regularly synced, surely Adobe has a better work around than just 'turning Dropbox sync off?' Any ideas?

        You only ever have to do this once then turn sync back on, then it'll continue to work as normal. It's to do with file permissions with Dropbox and is not an Adobe issue. The solution by Jorge Fdz solved it for me - I only need to do it once, and have my dropbox sync for all my files, including desktop, running again.

        Man, this is really screwing my workflow to a dead stop.

        It has gotten to the point that I cant save anything from Photoshop ANYWHERE!

        How about Adobe fix the issues they created!

          Having the same issue with my macbook air m1. Pretty ridiculous that Adobe can't seem to fix this yet, this is a feature I use daily and it's a total pain in the rear that it doesn't work properly. This thread was started at the beginning of the year and it seems it's still an issue a year later, pretty sad state of support Adobe. I am using the most updated operating system & most updated photoshop.

            What version of Dropbox do you have installed? I cannot reproduce with version 136.4.4345

            Dropbox V139.4.4896

             

            As soon as I updated PS, it broke the Save for Web interface. My dropbox rev hasn't changed (that I know of). Something in PS broke. Please fix - we rely on Save for Web to keep file sizes manageable.

            I discovered that when I received the same error, Dropbox was the culpret. When I go to preferences in dropbox and disable backup the My computer checkbox, prior to PS save for web, the problem is solved. Once you have saved your file, re-enable the dropbox checkboxs
