Using Macbook Pro, High Sierra 10.13.1
The Toshiba Canvio Connect (750GB) ($109.99 list) is a contender as one of the best drives we've seen at PC Labs. While it is a fast, capacious hard drive that fits in a coat pocket, it's the.

I have always used a toshiba 1TB external hard drive (compatible for both windows and mac) for my photos and videos
Today when I went to add files to it (1st time since updating to High Sierra) it wouldn't allow me add files, giving me a 'circle backslash symbol'.
I went to 'get info' for the toshiba external hard drive and everything seems to be the same as always, along with 'read and write' under sharing and permissions.
I have never had this problem before, no other changes other than the update to High Sierra 10.13.1 (which was back in November )
I read where in the Mac Driver folder of the external hard drive you could install Tuxera NTFS for Mac, upon attempting this it stated that it wasn't compatible with the os system, however it was 2014 version.
Should I download Tuxera NTFS 2018? Even then it is only a 15 day trial period, then will have to purchase. (from what I gathered)
I know my other option is to format the external hard drive to OS X extended (that would delete everything, so would require me to take everything off the external to format, then put it back? I'm not sure where I would relocate everything as far as having enough storage?)
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
