What's Wrong?
I am able move old sessions from Claude.ai project to Claude cowork using the Claude Desktop App.
But they don't seem to be able to see the new root folder that is setup on the Claude Cowork project or write to it.
Here is the error I get an error that is fully illustrated in the 'Session ToC skill failing to write to disk.md' file that is uploaded.
They still seems to point to the old root set in claude.ai
What Should Happen?
New session should see the existing folders and be able to write to those folders.
