I’m trying to copy photos from my mac (from Photos app) by exporting them to a USB, and I keep getting this error: “Could not write file to destination(1,016)”. What can I do?

try quitting out of photos and reopening, and restarting. I have noticed Photos is a very, very finicky program. Try dragging them to your desktop then to the USB.

YUP- Once Apple abandoned Aperture for the truly mediocre “Photos” program, I have been struggling to manage all of my photos. All my custom Album and Folders also gone. Apple has lost their way.
