Ubuntu – Cant acces files on the HDD to upload , download : ‘/media’: Permission denied with Chromium

chromiumdownloadshard drivepermissionsupload

I installed Ubuntu(dualboot) with no problems on my ssd , and my hdd (ntsf) is mounted with permission to write and read files on.
I cant acces files on my HDD to upload , even download when the windo to select files is up.

The hdd is located /media/passe2142/Almacenamiento.

sudo chown -R username '/media' and got to change the permision but the problem persist.

Later I tried this:

sudo ntfs-config

(ntfs-config:4763): IBUS-WARNING **: The owner of /home/passe/.config/ibus/bus is not root!

And got this error.

(DONT DO THIS)
I try to use
sudo chown -R passe '/' and it didnt work.

UPDATE

I have reinstall it. The mistake i made was messing with the permissions.
So as you know im a complete noob in this OS.
The issue is that i would like to be able to upload/download files directly from my Hdd.

UPDATE 2

I was using chromium as browser, in firefox there is no problem. I can choose other locations like my hdd. Weird. It also happens if i want to add local files to spotify.

Really sorry for my bad english.

Try running the following command:

sudo usermod -a -G plugdev,cdrom passe

Restart and see if it works now.
