Upgraded to Catalina now have to always Force Eject External Drive
I have used external drives for years so as to not fill up local drive and for primary and secondary backup storage. At the end of each day in the past I would normally just eject the external drive by either right-clicking then select eject or drag drive icon to the trash. After upgrading to Catalina these options now fail to work I have to now select Force Eject in order to safely unplug the drive. In the past ten plus years I maybe had to force eject maybe half a dozen times thinking the system hung up or maybe a program had accessed a file(s) and it did not recognize the file was no longer in use. Now every single time I am done working I hesitantly have no other option than to Force Eject the external drive. I attached a second backup drive just to confirm it was not an issue with my daily use drive and that one also failed to eject normally without being forced. I saw that another community user posted a similar problem but was using their external drive for primarily storing photos in my case it's just standard work files - PDF, DOC, XLS, Etc.... Is this the only option until a patch to correct this is released or is there an app that does a better job of ejecting? I came across one app but it only added the standard eject command an menu bar button but still failed to eject without being forced.
