Can't export deck

Hello, I’m trying to export certain decks (although the problem also occurs when I try to export my entire collection) and the following message appears:

Failed to open ‘/Users/(my name)/Downloads’: Operation not permitted (os error 1)

I’ve tried downloading anki again but the same message appears, and there are no updates available (I think). Please help, this is very frustrating!

Thank you
Ella
