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?

Correct answer Greg Harbour

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.

Solution: File>Export>Export as>

I think the problem is when trying to save as 'save for web (legacy)

ADOBE - FIX THIS PLEASE!!!

I went back and installed one of the older versions (22.5) and it's working again. Going back one version (from 23.0.2 to 23.0.1) didn't work.

It's not your settings if it's working one minute and not working the next. The issue is with Adobe and it's frankly pretty infuriating to pay the prices we do and end up with useless "support" like I've seen here!

I am using Photoshop 22.5.0 and the issue is here too.

Reading other comments, I guess the origine at my end is the Desktop and Documents folders synced to OneDrive/Sharepoint. Which is set by the IT department at work, and I need to have.

I've solved this (for now) by doing the following. I've just started experiencing the issue with V22.4.3 and earlier V22 versions.

I've re-installed and updated Adobe PhotoShop 2020 - V21.2.10. Works perfectly fine with that version.

Hey guys,

I think this is the thread I replied on earlier in abject frustration. I am using PS 22.4.3 on an M1 MacMini (16GB RAM/2TB HD) I was getting this error from the first time I used it. I uninstalled, reinstalled. I wiped the disk, set alternative admin logins and looked around in vain trying to follow that stupid Link that has been offered as a solution for this stupid problem that revovles around resetting or setting permissions that every other version of Photoshop has managed to do just fine on its own.

ALL TO NO AVAIL.

I caught mention from a poster - not sure who it was who mentioned that they were backing up their desktop. I realized that I was also backing up my desktop with DROPBOX (I work on several machines so its helpful to do this). As SOON as I disabled BACKUP DESKTOP AND DOCUMENTS in Dropbox, I could go back to using the Save As function as normal.

I dont know why (other than permissions that take over in DropBox to allow for persistent Desktop backup) but it didnt work before I disabled and it worked after so....

Anyway, fair is fair. I was whining about it when it was happening, so thought I'd share my experience with how I stopped it.

Hope it helps out, it is a frustrating error.

You are completely right, I was the one that said the problem originated in Dropbox. If anyone does not know how to unsync the backup from dropbox, here's the procedure:

Click the Dropbox icon in your system tray (Windows) or menu bar (Mac).
Click your profile picture or initials.
Click Preferences.
Click the Backups tab. (Previously Import tab)
Click Manage backup.
Uncheck the folders you’d like to remove from Dropbox or toggle all files to Off.
Click Save.

Started getting this issue yesterday and it's very frsutrating. I've just updated PhotoShop and it's stiill happening. It just suddenly started happenign yesterday. It doesn;t matter where I try and save the file either. I've tried different folders on my computer, the desktop, my external hard drive (which I've never had an issue with). All these locations I've used daily to Save For Web for, well, at least the last 2 years!

MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2018), running MacOS Mojave, and Photoshop V22.4.3

Just to add - I have just rolled back and installed PhotoShop V21.2.10 and there is no issue saving for web to the same locations using that version at all. It's definitely not a permissions issue - and is definitely an issue with V22.4.3
