  • How to get access to USB-storage from the application installed as Snap?

    2 answers




I'm using Ubuntu 18.04.2 x64 installed on an internal SSD. The PC also has internal and external HDDs.



The problem is that any application that has been installed from Ubuntu Software doesn't have access to those HDDs.



E.g., I cannot save any file from Opera to them, and Inkscape cannot open/save the files from/to those HDDs.



I've tried changing the apps' permissions in Ubuntu Software itself but they are never saved.



How can I overcome such issues?

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.



















  • 1.) Have you mounted the extra drives? if so where? 2.) What is the output when you try to save a file?

I think I've found the root of the problem: it appeared to be snap-packages issue. I've managed to make some apps to work with non-system disks by connecting removable-media plug (but only those apps which have it):



sudo snap connect PACKAGE_NAME:removable-media
