[SOLVED] Permission problems with 8.xx

[Phosphoric]

SSH to the Pi with the USB/uSD drive

Can you write /edit files on that drive locally?
If yes then try manually mounting the share to that drive from your Mint host instead of using its network manager.

I can ssh to the drive and read the media folder contents but am unable to write to that folder.

I can do that with ver.7.6x and my NAS drive but sadly not with ver.8.xx
