Lightroom [You do not have permission to save files]

[Jay37573299qy5v]

Just recently started getting this message, does anyone know to solve this problem ? I've given access to Lightroom but still says it

 

[Francisco26719861493q]

Since the recent update, I have the same problem. When I try to export a photo, Lightroom can't access any folder, though it has full disk access.

i have the same problem, i can export to my desktop but when I try to my external hard drive I can not!

[Victoria Bampton LR Queen]

Is it only external drives, or even places like the desktop?

[Francisco26719861493q]

In my case, it happens in any folder (desktop, documents, external drives, new folders, etc.). Since last update LR can only export images in its own folder (where LightroomLibrary.lrlibrary is by default). 

[Victoria Bampton LR Queen]

Odd! What operating system version please?

[Francisco26719861493q]

iMac M3 / macOS Sonoma 14.5

Did you mamage to get this issue resolved? 
Ive the same error message 

[Francisco26719861493q]

No, unfortunately I haven't found a solution yet. It's very frustrating.

[Vicki37632029e3kr]

If you go to local

allow access 

this solved for me 

[Francisco26719861493q]

Solved! Your solution also works for me! Thank you very much! I clicked on local (I never needed to do that before and it always worked fine) and allowed access. Previously, I had to deactivate the antivirus (Bitdefender). Without this it doesn't work.

Hi , 

desperately looking for help.

since two days I am not able to export my edited images from lightroom to my external

drive. I get the message: u don't have acces to save files at ..... (external drive) 

I've tested an other external drive , did my updates and nothing seems to work. Went to preferences of my mac and accepted all the preferences for permission to acces. 

A desperate photographer 

thanks in advance

Hello! 
I've been having quite a few issues with uploading my edited photos from Lightroom onto the desktop of my Macbook Air. I've already contacted Apple and gone through a few things in my settings, including turning on Full Disk Access for the Lightroom app. This photo is the notification I keep receiving. I only crossed out my name, which I assume is referring to my Lightroom account. Any help is greatly appreciated! I need to get this gallery out to a client and this is the only thing preventing me!

@Olivia37843842tjfm try reporting the issue on the Lightroom Classic forum

Hi , I've moved your post from the Photoshop forum to the Lightroom Classic forum where you are more likely to get help with your issue.

Hello. can you say a little bit more about how to go to local please?
(sorry, but I can't figure out how to do that 😬)

[thengineer]

Ah I think I found it. Under Edit..Archive one photo locally. Meaning not in cloud.

[Vicki37632029e3kr · Accepted solution]

Hey yes 

top left corner you'll see 

cloud and local 

select local 

home icon (username) select... allow access 

and that should resolve hopefully 🤞 

[Lasse Søbye37661937wvff]

Is it possible to add several local drives ex. google drive?

I added my local user but I can't add my drive

[Michelle382629168cs0]

Did you figure out how to save to your external drive? My drive show up under local but still says it is read only, that I do not have permission and need to give it permission...but how?

[Gabriel340738189w3h]

Thank you so much! Worked! I've been trying to figure why I can't export to my SSD for a week! I knew it was something super simple!

[Luci.Morningstar]

Hey there,

It worked out for me. Hopefully for others who face the same issue.
