I have an external hard drive, and I am using Microsoft Teams. But this application is not granted permission to access files on that external hard drive. How can I change that?

EDIT: I have given it ALL permissions in the Ubuntu Software app. I am using the electron-based Linux app.

Have you installed the snap version? If so you need to give it additional permissions indeed. – ChanganAuto May 09 '21 at 22:53
and how do I do that? – The Thin Whistler May 09 '21 at 22:54
See this question for giving permission to snap apps. – user68186 May 09 '21 at 23:02
Can you mount the hard drive in a directory the snap can access? E.g. /home/$USER/mnt/myDisk? – waltinator May 10 '21 at 00:20

If you installed Teams via the .deb package from Microsoft's site, then you may need to create an AppArmor profile and grant Teams access to the external devices that way. Usually this isn't required, though ... – matigo May 10 '21 at 00:26
