Bridge workflow not working

As soon as I start a simple little "save to jpeg" workflow, it gives med "1 error files" and when I open that row I get Reason: Destination Cannot Write and Task: Preprocessing.

No files are saved/converted. I have run workflows before. I have turned off Ransomeware Protection in Windows. No luck. I'm running Bridge 2023. I have write access to the folder, I usually choose to create a subfolder from the original location.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Not saying vthat it is related but I had trouble with exports in the past and it was due to the file handling preferences in Bridge (files too big)

You can also check the cache settings in the preferences as well, just in case.

It might not be it, but worth checking!

Bridge does not work with cloud services. Save to a folder that is not sync'd to OneDrive.

I just got this same Destination Cannot Write error with a Bridge workflow on two different normal (not connected to cloud sync) output folders, one within my home account on my Mac’s internal storage. Bridge has both local Files and Folders access and Full Disk Access set in macOS 12.6.2 on Apple Silicon.

So something is going on here that has nothing to do with network/cloud-synced drives and is not specific to Windows or Mac.

Edit: I tried the Export panel instead of Workflow. The same file format settings to the same folder that fail in the Workflow workspace, output successfully using the Export panel. So the problem might be specific to Workflow, and a possible workaround is to do the job through Export if possible.
