I have just downloaded R2021b version of Matlab, but I have problems with the folders. When I run it, the initial folder is that of my User, from where I try to open the Desktop, where all my old files are saved. A message appears stating
"Error using cd
Unable to change current folder to '/Users/Cuchaira/Desktop'."
How can I solve the problem?

How exactly are you trying to change the current folder? The error looks like you are using windows, and forgot C: and are using the wrong slashes.

I am having the same issue. How did you permit Matlab to access all files on the Mac?

Hi Sabine:
- Go to system preferences.
- Select Security and Privacy
- On the top menu ribbon within Security and Privacy, select Privacy
- Unlock with admin account and password so you can make changes/ select applications.
- Select Matlab. Allow full disk access from left menu.
- Allow matlab to restart.
- Relock the lock button on the lower left.
- Now Matlab should have full disk access. See below.

Hi Chiara,
For changing the current folder “cd” command is used. Please refer the following link for more details: Change current folder - MATLAB cd (mathworks.com).

That is what OP is already using.
