![]() Why so dogmatic and rude? Feel free to put your "crap" where you want to. Only now Apple seems to want to take more charge of telling me what to do and how to do it. All your crap belongs in your users folder, not the root of the hard drive. System, Library, Applications, and Users. Probably 10.2 or 10.3 when that was introduced? There should only be 4 folders visible at the root of the hard drive. Requiring an admin password to put something on the root level of the hard drive goes back a long long way before High Sierra. So something clearly changed in High Sierra…Īnd as Celliot said, it's a workflow thing. This isn't exactly the same application for shutting SIP down, and for whatever the reason(s), being able to move folders back and forth from desktop to drive was not a problem in Sierra. Did it once before when a piece of software wouldn't authenticate (needed root access - and always had access until Mavericks and SIP came out). Not sure shutting down System Integrity Protection. Seems like a High Sierra "Feature" that not everyone wants. Best advice I can give you is to suck it up and organize your stuff in the home folder hierarchy. I know it sucks to have to pick up new habits, but that's a bad place to save/organize your files on the boot drive. Maybe not a big deal, but we all have our own strategies for HD organization, and that has been a part of mine for years. Even in Sierra I could use Get Info on my hd (root level) and give myself permissions to read & write. Maybe others don't mess with the root level when creating folders or saving files, but I do, and it's harder now in High Sierra. Try to drag it back and it won't go without authentication. If I create a folder at root level and drag it to the desktop, no problem. Can't do that anymore without authenticating. But when sharing files I will often just drag from one Mac to the HD of the other Mac. I can save to almost anywhere else as far as I can determine. I've been saving to the root level of my boot drive all along.
