External HDD is read only - kruuth - 2019-11-02

I've got a hdd connected to kodi on the fire stick but I can't write to it.  I can through total commander.  How do I fix it to write with the file manager?

Which disk format does the HDD have?

Plug it into a Windows (or Linux) machine, you should be able to find the disk's properties.
I got no idea what Total Commander can do in Android win that respect with HDDs.

I'm pretty sure that it's Fat32 since that's all that the firetv supports
