Earlier in Yosemite the files could have been copied or dragged into the hard drive. After upgrading to El Capitan, I can't do that anymore. Most of the people have suggested to re-format the hard drive, but that's not the solution. It will still not allow to copy or drag files into the hard drive.

This will not harm your files. Make sure to follow directions exactly (unplug external; turn off wi-fi or internet connection after download).
Had the same problem with my brand new 2 Tb WD Passport, downloaded Paragon NTFS for Mac, now it works just great.
Thank you. Done well. And works!
Be sure to scan your Mac for malware now, because the "free" CNET-downloads are often riddled with it.
But I see that app comes from Paragon web-site. The download is just hosted on cnet due to whatever reason.
But anyway I don't see any suspicious activity on my Mac, so guess it is allright 😉
Can't copy or drag files to the external hard drive.
