What format is your external drive. If it is NTFS you were likely running a third party app such as Paragon or Tuxera that allowed your Mac to write to the NTFS drive. When you upgraded your OS did you also upgrade your third party app?


If your externalk drive is not formatted NTFS as I I explained above we'll delve more deeply into your issue.
