Hi, can you tell me why lightroom can't write to my new ADATA 1TB external ssd that I use for all my photo storage. The catalog is on the internal storage of my Macbook Air m1 laptop. The main problem is with the files I am trying to sync with my other devices as you will see from the lightroom message

macOS

How is that disk formatted? Are you perhaps using it on a Windows PC too and is it formatted in NTFS? MacOS can read NTFS, but it cannot write to it.

The drive is brand new and formatted in exFAT. Mac and Windows both write and read from it.

The error message is clear. Lightroom does not have permissions to write to the chosen folder. You need to change the permissions of that folder, and all its enclosed items. Try read & write for everyone: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mac-help/mchlp1203/
