UPDATE:

After upgrading to 9.9 still the same problem. 

Im getting...
When saving: ... and [! Request failed with status code 500] error popup and  
“Access denied (…)” in the Message pane. 
When opening an already stored file: ... an  [! Request failed with status code 
500] error  popup.

If Im logged in as pgadmin on the server (the user running the app) and I could 
create a file in the storage directory. I even tried to make one file world 
readable (chmod 777) but still I am getting the above errors. I do see any file 
created directly in the storage. 

I also started Firefox 144.0 without extensions to see if this was causing the 
problem. But not as I expected as an 500 error indicates something server side. 
But I am ticking off any possible way to trace why this problem is happening.

Still nowhere I am able to detect any indication in the log files.

The only thing that works is creating a new folder via the storage manager and 
rename files … weirdly enough.

Could it be that I open the query tool always tool in a new tab? I’m have 
trouble finding the setting to disable this btw to test this hypothesis.
I also note that options/storage/last storage is set to None. While the last 
directory changes when I move around.

Ps running pgadmin4 in a venv with python 3.13.7

Thx,
Bastiaan
