Unable to save edit.

[Faraway_000]

So, I am getting this pop up saying unable to save edit every time I hit the save button. I cannot make progress if I don't save it...
If anyone knows the solution, please help.

Are you able to save other edits open at the same time?

Worst case, start a new project and copy over the old edit to the new one and save that--just to at least save your work.

Not sure what could be causing this, unless you're trying to save to the cloud...or you have a hard drive going weird.

Sounds like either a permissions issue or else the area you're trying to save to is no longer available. Who knows? Not us. You've left out all of the important details.

Thank you both for the responses.
The problem got solved by itself.
It would happen to all the edits.
And I also checked if the area where I save my project is showing in the Disk or not. It was all ok.
But yeah, the problem is solved.

Another Data point for folks like me (Windows11) running into the same issue and searching the forums. I haven't been rigorous in testing it, but I fixed my issue by temporarily turning off Dropbox. You could try temporarily pausing whatever cloud solution is humming away on your machine, or moving your projects out of 'documents' and away from Onedrive.

Nasty things happen with OneDrive and dropbox type of apps - they do a good job of keeping copies of files backed up in the cloud. They make a mess of things that get rapid/repeated changes and are perpetually attempting to keep up, to the detriment of time-sensitive apps. Yep, move things or define them as being non-replicated.
