Greetings, I have never posted to this list before. I searched the email archive, and didn't see anything related. I have been using Emacs and org-more for several years and recently started getting this error when I first open a .org file:
'Missing write access rights to org-persist-directory: "c:/Users/aloom/My Drive/home/.emacs.d/org-persist/"'.
I am using emacs v29.2 on Windows 11. Org-mode is 9.6.21
This started happening fairly recently, perhaps when I upgraded Emacs? Also note, that I have my $HOME in a Goggle Drive synced folder. Perhaps that has something to do with this? Or perhaps the space in the PATH to my HOME directory? Although, as I stated, I did not have this error until fairly recently.
Let me know if you need any further information.
Thanks!

The message you are seeing is displayed when Emacs has no write access
to your .emacs.d.
Check your FS write access settings along the path you see in the
message.

What about (file-writable-p "c:/Users/aloom/My Drive/home/.emacs.d/org-persist") ?

The problem is that you do not seem to have write access to create files
in "c:/Users/aloom/My Drive/home".
This is a bug in Org mode that it checks for write access there (we
check one parent directory too much).
I fixed the check on the bugfix branch.
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs/org-mode.git/commit/?id=ad0282533
The fix will be available in the next Org bugfix release (likely tomorrow).
