Photoshop won't Save for Web unless Dropbox Desktop & Documents backup disabled

This issue affects Adobe Photoshop and the Dropbox backup features on Mac Big Sur. When the Desktop and Documents are selected as Personal backup folders, it seems to mess up the Adobe permissions, ...

I have been having this problem forever. This feature is huge for web developers.

I think it is a Mac Dropbox problem, but maybe because Adobe's save for web feature is pretty old-school part of the code. Only when the Backup feature for Dropbox in enabled, this permission thing occurs (in the Save for Web feature of photoshop specifically).

    Hi

     

    Anyone in the team knows if with the new dropbox backup update this kind of problems with adobe saving have been resolved?

     

    I had to turn off this feature months ago, in order to using and saving correctly with the creative cloud

     

    Thanks

    It's now September 2023 and Dropbox is still ignoring designers and developers who use Adobe and like to backup our computers. I've been using DB since they launched but now it's time to give serious consideration to their competition.

      Seriously. If this is a dropbox issue, why has it not been addressed, even if it isn't dropbox's fault, can they provide any suggestions or solutions? I've been dealing with this issue off and on for well over a year.

       

      To recap, using Save for Web (Legacy), I am getting this error:

       

      Adobe save for web error

      Could not complete this operation. A write permissions error has occurred.

       

      Can someone please help?
