my NTFS drives have always mounted with write access now suddenly they don't. How do I get them to mount with write access?

I mount them simply by going to "other locations" and clicking the drive.

I'm on Ubuntu Budgie 18.04.

    Boot up Windows and scan the drive for errors. You probably left it mounted when rebooting. – Rinzwind May 20 '18 at 08:24

if you have dual boot and have windows installed. make sure that "fast startup" is disabled in windows settings and then reboot. latest windows update re-enables the fast startup.
