Lightroom is giving me a "Photo Unavailable" error with the following message: ""filename.arw is missing, has been corrupter, or modified after import. Please delete the file and re-import it.", but...
I'm using LR version 5.4.
I've attached screenshots of the error message and my LR preferences (in case that helps).
Would love any advice! Been trying to figure out how to solve this but can't find a good answer 😞

Hi there,
Thanks for reaching out. I'd love to help you figure this out.
What version of the macOS are you working on right now?
If you are working on macOS 12.3 & above, please follow the steps in this post to allow the required permissions to Lightroom on the macOS: https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-discussions/quick-tips-how-to-give-full-disk-access...
Lightroom might be having trouble accessing the original from the external drive.
Try these steps & let me know how it goes,
Thanks!

Hi Sameer,
Thanks for taking the time to respond. Unfortunately these solutions didn't work - I had already given LR full permissions, and the disc had no issues (I ran first aid and restarted anyways).
To answer your question, I'm using MacOS Monterey Version 12.1 on the M1 Max chip.
Do you have any other ideas?

I am curious to see an answer given, but this is what I note in your screen-clip:
No Locally Stored Copies
No Locally stored Smart Previews
No Stored copies of originals.
Do you have anti-virus, or some other app that may be blocking your use of the files in Cloud storage? Are you online when using Lr?
Your preferences mean that Lr must edit all images stored in the Cloud.

Hi Rob,
Thanks for the thoughtful answer. Should I have both of those checkboxes selected (smart previews and originals)?
I don't have an antivirus blocking cloud storage and I am online when using LR.
This issue happened a few days ago (about a day before I originally posted), seemingly out of nowhere. I don't believe I've changed anything about LR, my system, my internet connection, etc - at least not that I know of.
