Disk error while saving Photoshop files at Google-File-Stream

Adobe does not support network drives and definitely does not support using a cloud service. Save to your local hard drive and manually copy files over. You are going to lose data otherwise.

I'm having the same problem using Google Drive File Stream. Photoshop hangs on 0% saving, and there's no way to abort and save as another filename or on another volume.

I did, however, find kind of a stupid/genius workaround so you don't lose all your work. Photoshop has an option called Export Layers to Files. This lets you save out each layer as its own PSD in another location, such as your desktop. Then, after force quitting Photoshop, you can reopen your old file (or create a new file with the same dimensions), and drag all of the layers back to the document. They will appear as Smart Objects, but you can then select them all choose Convert to Layers. Afterwards, your file should appear essentially the same as it was before you got the error.

I have the same issue and it's infuriating because I save like every few seconds and this disk error pops up constantly. I found that it doesn't happen when I make that file or folder "available offline" which may not be ideal for some people, but is a temporary workaround.

I am having this same issue with my Photoshop CS6, only I am not using anything Google related.  I am trying to save right to my desktop and receiving this error.  I have reset my settings, which didn't work.  I am just trying to save as a PSD file, and it doesn't work at all.  If I choose to save in a different location, it will let me, but if I choose to overwrite a file, I get the disk error message again.

I forgot to mention.  Saving for web seems to work fine.  It seems to be only trying to save the PSD file that is the problem for me...so far.

Same problem here. I hope Adobe will fix this problem because the risk of losing files now is quite big.

Throwing my weight behind this issue. I really wish Adobe could look into this, as it is the only application I use that has this problem with Google Drive Stream, and I know Google might never address the issue from their side. I've been seeing this issue for months now, and it disrupts our team's workflow. Not only will it not save updates, but the original file will be deleted too. It usually works after a few tries, but it's been getting progressively worse. I came to this forum now because I just got a disk error message after 10 consecutive attempts to save the file.

Here's a Customer Service follow up: (after an hour of chatting)

• Aren't allowed to help because it's with a 3rd Party application
• Suggested saving the file locally then moving to Drive Stream later (so basically an external drive/backup)
  • I mentioned that doesn't really help for a working team...too bad (defeats the purpose of Drive Stream)
• Suggested I add the bug to the "Suggest a Feature" forum (fixing a bug doesn't seem like a feature to me but go upvote it so maybe it gets looked at)

Finally I was told that hopefully it could be fixed in an update before the end of the year....

So unfortunately they don't really seem to care about fixing the issue, hopefully they do, but I wouldn't hold my breath. 

Hello,

Started have this same problem 2 days ago. Disk error while saving photoshop files to google drive share. I've been working directly on cloud drives for years (dropbox, google, meocloud, etc) with 0 issues.

Also google drive automatically thrashes my file and when i try to restore it the file is either corrupt or photoshop returns  "Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop."

I've had the same issue.  I've come at it from the Google Drive side, but they aren't able to help.  I haven't yet spoken to their customer support as I need admin rights and our admin is out today.

Run into the same problem
