can not copy files on to my internal hardrive

Updated to Catalina and now I can not see my folders or copy new folders to my hardrive. I get the no entry symbol appearing.


I have found my folder in the Volume folder.


HOW CAN I GO BACK TO NORMAL, CREATING FOLDERS AND ITEMS TO MY APPLE HARDRIVE?

iMac 21.5", OS X 10.11

You cannot modify the root level of the startup drive in Catalina.

If you stored files there, before the upgrade, they will have been moved to a Relocated Items folder in /Users/Shared

You should save all of your files inside your home folder, or in /Users/Shared.
