What is the expected behaviour/value?

After importing a Pastebin URL into a new build, I should be able to save/save as the build.

What is the actual behaviour/value?

After clicking the save/saveas button and entering a filename, I get the following error:

Couldn't save the build file: C:\Users\smoker\Dropbox\Home\Games\Path of Exile\Character Builds/tempi.xml Make sure the save folder exists and is writeable.

How to reproduce the issue

• [ ] Import a pastbin URL into a new build (I'm using https://pastebin.com/qMmKksb6)
• [ ] Click either the Save or SaveAs button at the top of PoB
• [ ] Enter a filename (I'm using "temp")
• [ ] Click the Save button

The specific slash used (forward or backwards) doesn't matter, as Windows handles both types correctly. In most cases forward slashes are used to avoid needing to escape them inside strings: \\ versus /.

Have you verified that Path of Building actually has write access to your Dropbox folder?

Well, I have the same issue now (it was working fine before). I can't save any build anymore. Tried to reinstall, same. Tried to change the folder properties (it's read-only), couldn't do it (it reverts back in windows 11). Tried to change folder to an other location than documents, no change. Ran it as administrator, same. Changed the user permissions of the pob folder to everyone, same. Now I have the only option to recreate a new pob everytime and lose it when I close! EDIT: SOLUTION I found is to install the PORTABLE version and set the builds folder inside, on a different drive than system drive.
