Is there something I can do?
You can only write (have full permissions) to the app folder on your external drive. For Kodi it would be /your_drive/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi.
This is a limitation of the Android storage framework and the only way around this is for a app to first ask for permission to write to other folder or to the root of the drive. Kodi does not do this so you are stuck using the app folder on the drive if you want anything other than read permissions.
You should also note that the folder will not exist until you plug in the drive and launch the app. If you plug in the drive and the app is already running the folder will not be created on your drive. You will first have to close the app then launch it again.
