I was wondering how you give a snap access to an SD card or an external drive. I've tried going into my package manager and changing the permissions through there but I couldn't find anything to give the program access to an external drive so I came here. I'm using Kubuntu 20.04.

  • Depends if the snap specifies `removable-media` as an interface. Use `snap connections (snapname)` to find out if it does. If so, you can connect it with `snap connect (snapname):removable-media` – popey May 18 '20 at 10:39

I connected the Ultimaker Cura snap to the sd card like this:

$ snap connect cura-slicer:removable-media

Now, the Ultimaker Cura detects the sd card:

Ultimaker Cura snap under Ubuntu detects sd card

Thanks to @popey.
