Use chmod, but there may be a corruption issue on your ext SD. If there is file corruption, then you'll have to back things up as much as possible and try reformatting.
@ tobymacfreak- I don't get a legacy choice. I only get my external sd card choice- I changed externalsd to R/W-rebooted, still getting insufficient storage space.Follow these steps to fix...

I just read that the 4.3 update and the 4.4.2 kitkat update broke the ability to write on the ext. sd card, Changing the r/o to r/w in root explorer does not fix the ability for titBU to write to the ext sd card. The fixes above are not even available to me. Is there another way to fix this "broken" kit kat ext SD to make it writable? I cn change it to storage or sd1 internal storage to BU, but it uses up so much space I want to BU to my 64 gb ext sd card.

Install, follow the prompts, reboot, and I am now using titBU to BU my apps to my Ext. Card!
I wish this break of function was a little more well known. It would have saved me a huge headache and time. But that's how you learn I guess.

Your very welcome
It drove me nuts too till I found it!:laugh:
Why not just configure TB to backup to the physical SD card? The TB program and data (6.2.0) are only a little over 10MB (see screenshot) but the backup directory is much larger than that.
Sorry, but I didn't realize that phone(s) were being discussed in a "storage space" thread for a tablet that comes standard with an SD card slot.The answer is simple. I don't have a phone with physical sd card slot
. But anyway, if sb would find this thread through google like me and was in the same place as I am(no sd card slot) can use my trick. In my case it worked This fix should be stickied for all. Sprint Galaxy S5. Worked perfectly! Thanks!Your very welcome
