I'm on a Windows OS that uses OneDrive. When I try to save a file to a folder that I created today, Photoshop doesn't find the folder even though I can see it in my File Explorer. When I save the file in the default folder instead, I can see the file in Photoshop's Recent Images, but I can't see the file in my File Explorer.

Do not work directly off OneDrive or other cloud folders. Save to your internal hard drive and copy files from there.

I don't use OneDrive to save my files on. I only mentioned it because I thought maybe it was affecting my drive.
I opened File Explorer and chose Run as Administrator and I was able to run it as the administrator so I unchecked Read Only from the folder, applied the change, and closed the Properties menu. Then I opened the Properties menu again but it was still read only. I also tried re-starting my computer but the change didn't stick.

I tried the instructions on the following web page but it still didn't work: How To Fix Windows 10 Folder Keeps Reverting To Read Only Issue

Without exact info on file paths and other stuff like user permissions that isn't really going anywhere. If you created the folder outside PS, chnaces are you may simply need to adjust the properties because you inherited wrong settings from somewhere.

Thanks, Mylenium.
When I go to Properties, it shows that the folder is read-only. So I un-checked Read Only and clicked Apply but when I open the Properties for the folder again, it still shows that the folder is read-only. My changes aren't sticking.

I am following the instructions on this page: How to Fix Folders Reverting to Read-Only on Windows 10 but the scan is taking some time and I'm not sure it will be complete before I leave for work so I may have to re-do it.
