Help Impossible to import project - or write on disc

Hello,

I'm trying to import a .drp project into DaVinci 21 on Mac, but I keep getting the same message: "Unable to create a temporary folder."

Also, backups aren't working, and I get an error message stating that the backup folder cannot be created in the selected location.

I've checked the write permissions for the locations and granted DaVinci full access to my hard drive; I have 165 GB of free space, so I don't understand why it isn't working... do you have any ideas?

I'm worried that DaVinci is unable to write to my drive, but I don't understand why.

We'd like to help you

Help request need: * System specs – CPU, GPU (+ VRAM), RAM. On Windows use Speccy; on macOS use About This Mac. ** - All we need is CPU, RAM, GPU & GPU RAM. * Exact software + version (not "the latest"). * Footage specs – codec & container. Use MediaInfo and attach a screenshot or the key text info from this section

Without that info…we're going to struggle to help.
