Todays simple tech question.

I purchased a 16gb usb3 Scandisk flash drive.

I added my personal account passwords etc via a new Pages doc.

Since added pages doc to flash drive,excellent.

I later this afternoon had to make an amendment to this doc.

Why is permission denied when trying to save or move the new doc to my flash drive?

As a workaround I e-mailed the doc to myself and copied the file direct to flash drive which worked.

What I'm unable to answer is, why can I write and store a pages doc and save to flash drive though not amend and save the new doc to flash drive.

I checked flash drive permissions via finder set to read/write for my username even tried admin account.
