DIM won't install content

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

Using the Mac DIM I can download content, but it just won't install any of them.  I have an M1 Mac, Monteray. I've deleted and re-installed several times, used DAZ central, which is even more useless, because Central stalls at 50%. I have submitted a ticket to the staff, but I think a lot of us are having a lot of problems. Anyone have any suggestions for alternatives to DAZ. Right now, it's pretty useless?

    I don't believe the current version of Daz Studio works on the M1 macs, that may also go for the build of PostreSQL too I suppose. Did you not check it out before buying content?

    I guess the issue is that you need to tell macOS that DIM really is allowed disk access. Got to System Settings -> Security & Integrity -> Integrity Tab. Find Full Disk Access in the list and allow com.DAZ.DAZ3DIMHelper

    I have given it full access but it doesn't help.  The very first time I downloaded the app it worked for a few days, then suddenly stopped opening files, saying they did not exist. I submitted a ticket, but heaven knows if they know what's wrong. I appreciate people's help.

    Where do you download then (Where have you set DIM to use as a download folder)? And do you use "delete after install" or not?

    It's been going to the my user Shared folder when it's downloaded. I had checked "delete after install". But it just won't install anymore. I don't know why it worked the first time but then just quit.

    There are two logs from DIM (accessible through the "cog" icon button).
    They might give some ideas,

    Well, I'm baffled, but in a good way. On a whim, I trashed all the files, then I assigned my documents folder to the cloud instead of my hard drive.I downloaded the install DS again, and now it's working. I have no idea why, but for now, it's working.
