(Ubuntu 18.04.2) Ubuntu Software Apps Access to Non-System Disks Issue












0















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, nor „Inkscape“ can open/save the files from/to those HDDs. I've tried to change apps' permissions in „Ubuntu Software“ itself but every time they aren't saved.



Does anybody have such issues? How have you overcome them?
