why can’t i create a folder for synchronization on an external drive ? The program doesn’t like the file system, but the file system is OK and supports both reading and writing
Syncthing doesn’t care where the folder is located, as long as the path is accessible by it. Please make sure that there are no permissions issues that would block the program from accessing it. Also, screenshots of the specific error message would be helpful as well.

I use MacOS and the program creates a folder on the system drive, which means all the permissions are there. I use the APFS file system, which is the native file system for Mac. I also tried EXFAT, but it doesn’t work either. What permissions should I provide?
mkdir /'
That slash-quote looks mighty suspicious. You better double check your folder path, and maybe provide a screenshot so we don’t have to keep guessing.

Thank you, the problem has been solved. The path to the folder was not written correctly
