I have had Monterey for several months. Just today I tried to Drag and Drop a photo from my Photo Library on my Macbook Pro and could not complete. I received the following message:
Export Complete with Errors
0 of (1) files have been exported
The export operation failed to create a file for the photo identified below
IMG_2264.jpg Unknown error (3)
I would appreciate any advice this support community could provide.
Thank you.
Problem solved thanks to Apple Support. Photos upload was stuck due to lack of space. Had to delete some files in iMovie to make room. Once photos all photos had uploaded to the photo library it was possible to drag and drop to desktop. Thanks Apple Support!

Is it happening just for one (or some) photo(s) or all?
Anything changed on your system when this started happening?
What happens if you try "export unmodified original" rather than "export"?
Where is your library stored? If on an external drive, what is the format?
Do you use any security/speed up/duplicate file removal/clean up apps?
I saw a previous post and the response from the Apple community. I tried doing what was suggested and received the same error message. I am attaching the directions I followed and the identical message I received again. I would greatly appreciate any help from this support community.
Drag and Drop from Photos to Desktop get Error 3
