USB OTG - Is USB storage Read-only?

So I've got the Google USB-C OTG cable to go with my Nexus 6 and have connected a 32GB USB Flash Drive. It gets recognised by my phone and I can read all of the contents that I put on there using my PC, however if I attempt to write to the USB at all from my phone, either by creating a folder or copying files/folders onto it, using ES File Explorer, I just get an error, "The operation is not supported".
I also get the same error on my Pixel C.

Is this an issue with ES File Explorer? Or do I have to root my devices to write to external USB storage? (Both are currently un-rooted and I don't wish to root them)
