Update 2022\/05\/31: After upgrading to macOS 12.4, Apple’s terminal app does not need to set the “Full Disk Access” permission, but this problem still exists in third-party apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a developer who takes data security very seriously, I have been using a dual redundant 5-bay Drobo DAS disk array as external data storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For convenience, I set up Drobo DAS directly as a backup volume for TimeMachine and TimeMachine sets up a dedicated folder named “Backups.backupdb” in it. I also created other folders in the root of this backup volume to save some other files, such as videos, source code repositories, large project files, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since my daily work covers various aspects such as graphic design, front-end interface, back-end services, AI analysis, video editing, etc., the technology stack and tools include NodeJS, FCP and others that generate a lot of fragmented files. Therefore, I am used to operating the project files on the Drobo disk array.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Everything was perfect, the performance and capacity of the Drobo made my work very smooth, but it all ended in macOS 12.3.1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After a routine upgrade prompt on the macOS system, I upgraded from macOS 12.2.1 to macOS 12.3.1, and then I found that my productivity softwares such as TextMate, Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio for Mac, Unity, Unreal and others could not obtain access permission to the project files in Drobo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even when Apple’s built-in terminal application runs third-party commands such as yarn, npm, node, etc. to the these project files, it will also prompt that there is no access permission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I googled for a long time and didn’t see any solution, and finally I found that I can only obtain the access permission of these project files normally by setting all these softwares to “Full Disk Access” in “System Preferences” \u25b8 “Security and Privacy” \u25b8 “Privacy”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s ridiculous, inconvenient and dangerous. Maybe later version of macOS will fix it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
