How to give write permissions to a hard drive?

Hello. In general, I installed elementary on ssd and left a clean hdd, I gave it the ext4 format and that's it, I didn't specify the mount point. (I need it for photos, etc., so as not to litter the ssd). But I can’t create anything on it, it’s visible in the system, I can enter it, but I can’t change it, it can only be read, I would like to upload a couple of movies and large files into it. Please tell me how to fix this?
Here is a screen of disks (931GB - hdd, we are talking about it)

sudo chown username /path/to/disk -R
username - your username
/path/do/disk - mount point

The answer to the question is to specify a mount point for it, or mount it manually using the mount command
