Since updating first to Catalina and now to Big Sur I can no longer drag my files onto my external hard disk. I can't see that the disk is mounted and I can drag files from it, but not to it? Can anyone help please.
iMac Line (2012 and Later)
Thanks for the swift response, you are correct, it's formatted as NTFS. But I never had the problem before the Catalina/Big Sur upgrades. Guess I'll take everything off, reformat for continued use. Thanks very much.

The problematic Drive is Formatted in what format ? Disk Utilities >> View >> View ALL attached Devices. Click on the Name of the problem drive. What format and advise. Suspect from your description, the drive is NTFS ( Windows ) formats. MacOS can read but can not Write to this file format.
