Geographic Information Systems Asked by Sophia on January 16, 2021
I’m not super familiar with QGIS as I am used to ArcGIS. But when I try to create a new shapefile layer, I keep getting an error that says:
Layer creation failed: Failed to create file vacancies.shp: Permission
denied.
Right now I am working off an OSM Standard layer and a shapefile I downloaded from the ArcGIS website. What might be wrong?
Are you using the button on the right with the 3 dots? The field is a file path. If you enter only the name of your file in the field, it will try to create the layer at the root folder of your system, where you usually don't have rights to write.
