I have an NTFS partition for sharing files between Windows and Ubuntu, but when I want to modify something into the partition I must do it with sudo. In the info in Nautilus, it says that the owner ("propietario") is root. I want to change the owner to be me.

The letters from the bottom say, "You're not the owner, that's why you cannot change the permissions."

  • Translation hiccup: Proprietario = Owner (not proprietary, which means owned by somebody). – user535733 Aug 07 '20 at 23:35
  • NTFS is a proprietary Windows file system. It does not support Linux permissions or ownership. Perhaps this is where you are confused? – Nmath Aug 07 '20 at 23:43
  • I also use a common NTFS partition to transfer files b/w my 2 OS but the owner of that partition is me not root. Maybe you are mounting that partition as root, hence the owner is root – White Mars Aug 09 '20 at 17:18
