Unable to export to external hard drive

[Gisjean]

Hello,

After installing Catalina on my Mac  I no longer can export pictures from LR to my external Harddisk. When I do it I get the following message: 'specified folder is write protected'. Before catalina its works perfect and a copy of my pictures went automaticlly to the external Harddisk.  What can I do?

Hi there,

We're really sorry for the export issue. It looks like a permission issue after the Mac OS update. Which version of Lightroom Classic you are using now? Could you please uninstall Lightroom Classic via Creative Cloud Desktop > Restart your machine > Reinstall it.

Let us know if that helps to resolve your issue.

Thanks,

Mohit

Hello,

my external drives were formatted in NTFS and my program "NTFS for Mac" had to be initialized again after upgrading to Catalina. 

So no i can write (export) again to those external drives !

Thanks anyway for your help !
