If you can not write to it, either its permission are not allowing your user to write on it, or it could be other reasons. Give more information about what disk it is, what file system it is, how you mount it, and so on, the more information you can give, the easier it could be to troubleshoot your issue.

Most common cause is you forgot to grant yourself ownership / write permission on the folder serving as mount point for your drive.

Iā€™m guessing its this one, and newly formatted given the size.
So ā€¦ btrfs+permissions (!+encryption?)

Yeah its the 8TiB drive, so how would i give myself permissions to write to it?

Edit: I gave myself permissions but is the mount point ok to leave the same? the /run/media/kaleb/storage or does that need to be changed

The mountpoint is fine, though if you automount through /etc/fstab it is advisable to use the UUID as identifier, ex:

# /dev/sda5
UUID=d2b4d297-7921-4389-868d-f00741e1ff04       /               ext4            rw,noatime,commit=60    0 1
