I have a secondary internal hard drive to store files. However, Snap programs in Ubuntu do not have the permissions to open the files on the secondary hard drive. To open files with certain Snap apps, I have to copy them first to the primary Ubuntu drive to access them.

Desired solution: How do I enable Snap access to contents on my secondary internal HDD as if it was my main hard drive with full permissions.

This should work: https://snapcraft.io/docs/raw-volume-interface – ajgringo619 Sep 25 '20 at 01:27
Depends upon the program, and depends where the second hard drive is mounted. For example: Acces to /media is fairly straightforward, but access to /var/foo is not. – user535733 Sep 25 '20 at 01:52
