Unable to create a directory for iCloud Photos. Restarting your computer might... (Error 5)
I've search high and low for a solution to this error.
I had given up after over a year of trying to resolve it, on Windows 10. I've pickup up a new PC on Windows 11 and tried to install the latest...
I've got the same problem, on Windows 10 or Windows 11 - doesn't matter. Did you find a way to fix this or found a work around?
- Nope! This is an ongoing issue and I’ve got no way to raise awareness and get these massive companies to solve it. Dropbox is the small time little guy compared to Apple and Microsoft. So the only solution is to not place your Pictures folder inside Dropbox.
Thank you. This is what I did, but this is indeed annoying..
just +1'ing
trying to find a solution myself. the first go-round I did some kind of dance. placed pictures in onedrive, installed icloud which it detected and placed in icloud photos in users folder. great!
proceeded to move pictures to dropbox.
however after an update icloud photos no longer works.
gonna have to try that entire dance again and hope for the best.
