Unable to access network drives

Post by Foothill8681 »

Hello,

I have been unable to access network drives using snap filebot 5.01

I have installed using the command below:
sudo snap install filebot --edge --devmode

Second, I have started filebot with the below:
sudo snap connect filebot:removable-media :removable-media

No locations are available in the /mnt folder

does anyone have any advice they can provide?

Hello,

I was able to achieve the desired results from using the apt method. In the event I need to uninstall are there steps for uninstalling the apt version?

sudo apt remove filebot would be my first guess:

snapd does not allow access to /mnt or any other traditional system folder. The :removable-media slot grants access to the /media folder only. That said, --devmode should eliminate all application sandboxing issues, but you'd have to ask the snap developers for details on that.
:idea: Please read the FAQ and How to Request Help.
