I have Ubuntu 18.04 LTS installed.
I inserted USB-flash to my laptop. It was automounted to /media/username/DISKLABEL and opened in Nautilus. I can read and write objects to it.
How can I access it from the application, which is installed as Snap?
I tried snaps of the following applications such as gedit
, arduino-mhall119
, organize-my-files
. All them show me errors if I navigate to /media folder:
Could not read the contents of Media
Error opening the directory of '/media': permission denied
Output of active Snap interfaces is below:
$ snap interfaces | grep -v ".*-$"

- gedit:avahi-observe
- gedit:mount-observe
Updates:
- connecting mount-observe to Gedit with
snap connect gedit:mount-observe
does not help. - it seems that we need special Snap with support of
removable-media
interface.
Best Answer
So we need special prepared Snap with support of
removable-media
connector/interface/plugin.Below is a list of Snap with removable-media plug described in YAML-manifest :
One can find other Snaps released by SnapCrafters with the following GitHub search link.
So if the application does not have auto-connect of
removable-media
we need to connect it manually with:But not all applications have this plug/interface in YAML-manifest.
It is hard to find packages by supported plugs - so I created issue "Add ability for parametric Snap search with filters (plugs, such as
removable-media
and so on)" about snapcraft.io site.The bug about
snap
command named "snap
should provide functionality to find packages with needed plug or connector" was filed to launchpad as bug 1776938.
