EOS Utility 3.18.41 cannot use iCloud Folder

[SpagVR]

When trying to set a Destination Folder for image copy in EOS Utility to iCloud folder, I get the error "You do not have access permission for the folder. Please select a different folder." 

The system folder path is "/Users/MyName/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/Pictures/Canon" or "/iCloud/Pictures/Canon"

All other apps I use can create and access folders in iCloud, including macOS Image Capture.

I've tried the EOS Utility on macOS Sonoma and Sequoia (most recent versions) with same result.  I checked the permissions of the EOS utility app, and they are the same as other apps. 

Anyone else have success using the EOS Utility to write to iCloud Drive?

Hi! I've been having the same problem for a little while now. I think I've found the best way to do it. 

1( Turn on iCloud syncing so it syncs your desktop and documents folders. 

2( Make a folder in documents for your imports (name it something like "EOS_IMPORTS")

3( Select that as your imports folder in EOS Utility 

4( Create a separate archive folder that you move the photos to when you're done reviewing them (I Use adobe Bridge because it's free and great for a ton of things.[Removed 3rd party link]

This should be a great workflow, in theory. Let me know if it doesn't work.

The EOS Utility only knows how to write to local storage.  Nice work around.
