Hello there 👋 First, thanks a lot for this incredible platform that allows thousands of developers to showcase their work! We’ve been using HF Spaces to run a small streamlit demo for OCR for a while now, which works great 🙂 DL models are downloaded to a `.cache` folder, then loaded into the memory to perform the inference. But a few days ago, it seems we cannot create subfolder in the `.cache` directory as I get `PermissionError`. To reproduce the behaviour, you can go to [docTR - a Hugging Face Space by mindee](https://huggingface.co/spaces/mindee/doctr), upload any picture or PDF, then click on analyze. The traceback points to `pathlib.Path.mkdir` method which now throws a `PermissionError`. Was there any recent change to folder permissions recently on Spaces? If so, how can I fix this? 🙏 Best ---

Seems to be okay now ---

Thanks for the fix Chris 🙏
