Hello,
What filesystem is your WD formatted? Is it HFS/APFS for Mac or NTFS for Windows?
Also, when you connect your drive to Mac, does it show up in Disk Utility? Please check.
You may apply a few tips (if the drive is working well but not appearing)
• Finder > Preferences > General
• Under ‘Show these items on the desktop’, check the ‘Hard disks’ and ‘External disks’ checkboxes.
• Similarly Finder > Preferences > Sidebar.
• Under ‘Show these items on the sidebar’, check the ‘Hard disks’ and ‘External disks’ checkboxes.
• Also, go to Finder > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility.
• In Disk Utility, to view all mountable and non-mountable drives, go to View > Show All Devices.
