HELP: Failed to write to database folder

PostMon Apr 09, 2018 8:43 pm

I have this warning:

"Failed to write to database folder '. Please make sure you have correct permissions."

If I hit "OK", Resolve continues to open, and then just before getting to the Project panel, it quits. It has been doing this since 12. I have found workarounds that work for short periods of time, but I would really like to stop this from happening for good!

I have searched online and gone through all of the steps I've found. I have repaired and verified my permissions. Nothing seems to work.

I am currently on an iMac running High Sierra 10.13.4.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

In case someone is having similar issues:

try to access the Preference pane while on the splash screen, and remove your media storage in the panel and add a new one.

that should work

I am having the same issue and see that other threads have also posted the same issue... with no resolution. I don't understand why the DR tech team can't provide an solution.
