How can I access my external drives when I can’t change permissions?

Asked By TechyNerd42 On

I've got two external drives formatted as exFAT, and ever since I updated to the latest OS, I can't access them at all. When I try to check permissions, there's no lock icon or any options to change them, which is really frustrating. I've heard people suggest going to 'Get Info' and adjusting the settings, but mine doesn't show anything useful. The drives aren't corrupted, and everything was working fine before the update. Has anyone else faced this issue?

You might want to try using Disk Utility. Select the drive there and run 'First Aid' to see if it can repair any hidden issues.

I already ran First Aid, and it didn't find any errors. Just a bunch of checks that all passed, but I'm still locked out. Really hoping there's another solution.
