osx ventura and photo app

Hi all,


after upgrading to osx ventura, I can't import photos from iPhone via photo.app in a library situated in an external ssd drive ( formatted in exfat)

Seems, the foto app has not privileges to write in this disk, or something like this.


Instead, I can read and write manually in this disk, without problems.


any suggestions? thank's in advance

I would look and see if adding to Full Disk Access


>System Settings>Security & Privacy>Full Disk access you external or photo app in questions or some such as a place to start poking around

Alternatively to help isolate the issue... dragging images to the Desktop for example. Change the work flow and compare your results.


Report back you success or failure.

Ever since Photos was released, it was supposed to need a Mac file system. That it worked before is a mystery to me.

It could have been similar to a deprecation in that it would eventually only work on a Mac file system.

I also could have just imagined reading that somewhere.


The creation of the new Library might be the key in that the old one became corrupt.

You do not mention what external brand drive this is ...
