Hi


What format is the drive.


If ExFAT there is a bug in some versions of photos that prevent it exporting to Exfat formatted external drives. (It needs to be APFS, or MacOS extended)


If this is the case here, the workaround is to export to your desktop first, and then drag to the drive using finder.
