What exaclty is happening? Are you doing a save as? Can you move the file to the folder using your finder?

Hi Melissa,

When I open a file it only saves or saves as in the same location. I cannot save the document in another folder even though I select it.  Also when I save or save as the file in the folder it shows empty even though I have several documents in that folder. All the folders have an icon with an arrow pointed downward, which is probably the problem. 🤷‍:female_sign:

I attached a screen capture for reference 🙂

And yes, I can move files using finder.

Thanks!

Why do you folders have an arrow that points down? Are they on a server? I'm thinking that might have something to do with it.

Mystery to me too! It only happens to photoshop, all my files are on my computer.

Finally figured it out from this thread: https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem/photoshop-won-t-show-complete-desktop-mac/td-p/10...

Go to the Menu bar on top of your screen - Click on the apple logo - System preferences - Security and Privacy - Under the Privacy panel - (Scroll down to Files and Folders) - On the right hand panel Click select on Desktop under Adobe Photoshop! That should do it!

Do you have the solution for this occurance on a PC?
