Cannot import copy or move files to LR 13 CC on a PC. Import starts but after loading 10- 50 images, stops and error messge " could not import file to the destination folder because it is not writeable or there is not enough free space." I am loading to a 8 tb drive with 3 tb free space. If I attempt again, the loading starts but then stops after a small number of images imported. I have read about adding permissions but  it only seems to apply to Mac.

"could not import file to the destination folder because it is not writeable"

 

Is this an external drive where your photos are to be stored? Please check for drive connection problems when this happens. Make sure your operating system can access the drive when this happens.

Yes, I am using an external drive. Many other files in the drive I access with no problem.

I still need help trying to solve this problem . Any other suggestions.


I have not solved this problem. I am dissappointed that this community has stopped helping after suggestions fail to solve the problem. Is there a way to directly contact Adobe for help.

What drive is your catalog on, and how much free space in percent (yes, that is %)

The catalog is on my C drive that is 1.81 TB and has 718 GB free (39%).
But the LR file has too many old catalogs and data files. I assume most of
these should be deleted. Maybe the problem.

These are the files in Lightroom C drive.
