Hmm, after digging into it more it seems that drive is formatted ExFAT. I didn't even realize that. I remember I did once format some external drives that way to try and make them cross compatible, but that didn't work out for most of my drives. I had all kinds of issues with ExFAT drives failing on mac. Specifically the WD kind powered over USB. But I must have missed this one (Seagate 3.5" wall powered) and it's been working fine. Anyway, I don't have any permissions I can change. Instead it just says "You have Custom access" where permissions are supposed to be. I didn't even notice this because I have no problems reading/writing to this drive and Plex has no issues with it. It's only Jellyfin that has caused me an issue. I'm guessing because Jellyfin likes to write files into folders. Is there a way to get around it (maybe with terminal) without reformatting the drive? It's 8TB and I don't have a spare to transfer files to right now.
