Drag and Drop Files Onto Seagate External Hardrive

I can't seem to just drag and drop files I want to store on an external hardrive with Seagate. I hate that. I just want a simple drag and drop so I can free up some space on my computer. Can someone please explain how to just drag and drop files? I have zero idea, and they don't make it simple to understand.

please explain it to me (without use of computer terminology or telling me places I should go on my computer that I don't know what they are. Renders your help useless, and it's frustrating because no matter how many times I ask this, you just give me help i can't understand anyway.)

If possible, use step by step instructions, if you need to tell me to go somewhere on my computer, tell me where that is too so I know where to go. Don't be vague, I can't understand vague instructions when i read them.

THANK YOU!

Finally managed to reformat my Seagate Backup Plus, and drag/drop without the use of installed software from Seagate. So simple, I don't think it took more than a minute.

Seagate has a driver that allows MAC to read it!

I could kiss you! Thank you so much, I was at the point of taking the bloody thing back to the store. Could they have made it more non-intuitive?
