One alternative is to use a bind mount.
sudo mkdir /media/photos
sudo mount -o bind /storage/photos /media/photos
Using the removable-media
interface, the application will be able to see the files under /media/photos
.
I understand there are workarounds, I just wished there was something more "native" to the snap, like me, the user who installed it (as root), telling it that it's ok to use a particular directory on my system. In fact, I would not want it to be able to read my /home
.
Yeah, sorry about that. Perhaps start a thread with a strawman proposal for how you would expect to see this, over on the snapcraft forum?
Hi,
this might not be solvable in the snap, because, snaps. But I find it very restrictive to only be able to use
/home
to store the downloaded media.I have a backup server where I wanted to store my google photos data, and I'm obviously not mounting its directories under
/home
, but elsewhere (/storage
for that matter). This snap cannot use that mountpoint.
