I get the message: Permission denied when trying to save. Just purchased the license for Sublime 3 and it is not working.

Where are you saving? What OS are you using?

Do you gave permission to that specific file / folder?

Thank you! With your questions you answered my question.

I had the same issue, make sure you save the file but not on your hardrive or else it will give the error.

Boel how do I give permissions to a folder ? I am having the same problem you had…

I am on a Mac, it’s been a while, but I think this is what I did:
Open Finder
Go to the folder
Control Click
Get Info
Sharing & Permissions area
If everything is greyed out, just click on the padlock
Click on the Plus Sign
Add your mac user
Set Read & Write Permission
If not on a Mac, maybe do a search for how to set Sublime permissions for Windows Folders?

Did these steps work for you on your Mac? Was you able to save your files to sublime?
