‘This file could not be found’

Question

Hi there,I have been using lightroom for a year now but this week I am facing issues with any new files I download to it.'the file could not be found' message appears when I aim to 'Develop' the photos from the file I downloaded the day before. I could 'develop' the photos straight after importing them, but the next day they seem to be blocked.Can anyone help me on that matter ?

Hey there,

Welcome to the Lightroom Community. We need more details to help you figure this out.

What version of Lightroom Classic and macOS are you using?

Are images saved in an internal or external drive?

Would you mind sharing the screenshot of the error message?

Does this happen to a single image, a single folder, or all photos in the catalog?

Please check if Lightroom has access to all files via Privacy & Security.

Thanks,

Shivani
