shinichi_okada · reddit · 2026-07-22
Claude Desktop 1.24012.1 reportedly stopped accessing local files even though Filesystem still shows as connected.
The poster says:
- Connectors shows Filesystem as connected
- Extensions are enabled
- Allowed directories are filled in
- Tool permissions are set to Always allow
- It worked the day before
They’re asking whether this is a wider outage or a local regression.
