Quick answer
Check the drive's format, available space and access conditions. A Windows-oriented format may not offer the expected write support on the Mac.
Understand the issue
Preserve a verified copy of important files before considering format changes. Record whether only one folder or the whole drive rejects writes.
Step-by-step checks
- Inspect the drive information.
- Compare a small test in an authorized location.
- Review a compatible storage plan before making changes.
