Unable to add files that are outside of the snap confinement #4

Closed colinl closed 7 years ago

colinl commented 7 years ago

It is not possible to, for example ipfs add ~/somefile as the file is not accessible from the snap. A permission denied error is seen.

It would make sense to allow access to files in the users home directory structure.

Thanks @colinl!

I notice ipfs-desktop got removable-media, but I still can't use a removable-media IPFS_PATH on the plain ipfs snap. Might still need an update.

Since ipfs has a system-wide daemon, it would be ideal to have access to some system-wide folder.
