Photoshop not saving because "disc is locked"

[Aspen28540431y6i8]

All day when editing between lightroom and photoshop everything has been working smoothly, and now photoshop won't save any pictures because it says the "disc is locked", even though I have gone to my settings and made sure Lightroom, Adobe, Photoshop all have full access under privacy and security.

What disk are you trying to save to?

I have the same problem - do you have a fix now

@Aspen28540431y6i8 is this your local HD or an external location?

Did someone figure this out? It's to an external drive.

@Scarlet27455051tk1v if you are on a Mac make sure the external is formatted properly (Mac Journaled) and you e given PS full disk access in Apple system settings/security and privacy.

Same issue for me but it's related to disk space in my experience. The MacOS disk space error needs to be passed to Photoshop as the 'disk locked' error isn't helpful.
