second copy to ext drive isn't possible

[Edwin V]

As I imported images to LR classic I used to make a second copy of the pictures on a ext HD.

Now I always receive a message that LR couldn't do it ;s o I wonder why ?

Let me move this to the Lightroom Classic forum for you, where you are more likely to receive an answer to your question.

The Community Help forum is for help in using the Adobe Support Community forums, not for help with specific programs. Product questions should be posted in the associated product community.

What is the exact word-for-word error message?

Please also provide this information:

Let me guess. You upgraded to MacOS Catalina but forgot to mention that. MacOS Catalina requires Lightroom to have permissions to access certain folders and disks.

yep after checking the different possibilities it could be the answer 🙂
