MacOS External Hard Drive Not Accessible

[pele.mtn]

Hello folks! I've tried searching for my specific issue and couldn't find any relatable topic covered before. I've tried connecting my external drive many times now with different variations of the file path and tried changing privacy settings, sharing settings on the drive in question etc. I've got my firewall up, but I've allowed Jellyfin, and My logs show "[2024-12-01 06:25:14.767 -07:00] [WRN] [53] MediaBrowser.Controller.Entities.BaseItem: Library folder "/Volumes/LaCie/User/Videos/Movies" is inaccessible or empty, skipping"
I know MacOS has unique issues, and I guess I'm not tech-savvy enough to figure out what I'm missing.
