Where is is that you’re seeing this?

A 401 is an authorization error and it suggests that your account lacks the required permissions to do what you are attempting (creating a file).

I am also seeing this error today.

SUMMARY:
When creatng a new Figma document via CMD (⌘) + N I see an error.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
Open Figma. Go to Drafts. Press CMD (⌘) N to create a new file. Also happens when Recent is selected.

EXPECTED RESULT:
Should open a new Figma file

ACTUAL RESULT:
No file is created, instead I see the error “XHR for “/api/files/create” failed with status 401” which appears in what looks like a red toast.

Operating System
mas OS 10.15.17

Figma Version:
Figma Desktop App version 95.8
