Found my USB drive reported as read-only on Linux Mint 18.1.
Corruption could cause this, so tried
sudo dosfsck -a /dev/sdc1
That did not help. Though the CLI is able to write to it, Nemo still complains it is read-only.
Apaprently the fix is at https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=176546
So everything needed to fix the issue is to execute:
sudo chmod 777 /media/USERNAME
And/or maybe a reboot?
When I faced this issue today, I rebooted the system, and then the USB drive was mounted read/write.
