So some process is taking up storage space whilst it is working on the drive. When I unplug the drive I can literally see the free storage space increasing. To be clear, it is my MacBooks storage space that gets filled up when I plug it in, since this happens every time I can't use the drive on my Macbook anymore either, because every time I can only use it a few minutes before I get warned that "My macbook is almost out of storage space, please remove some files". I use a Macbook Pro and don't have a lot of storage space on the macbook itself, hence the external drive and why this is really annoying. The thing is, every time I plug the hard drive in it starts taking up storage space. ![]() Thus, I opted for decrypting the drive, since I used up almost 900 GB of the 1TB there are quite a lot of files and I understood the process might take a while. ![]() However, whilst encrypted I could not view the files other than on a Mac (I was trying to view them on a media player connected to the TV). By now I also have some video files and pictures on them that I'd wish to show on my TV. So, I have an external drive (1TB) that I made journaled encrypted when I first started using it. ![]() I've searched on the internet for a while and asked my question on apples website as well, however I haven't found and answer yet and people aren't responding on apple's site so I'd though I'd give it a go here.
