I am using Ubuntu 20.04 and I've installed Microsoft Teams using Ubuntu Software.

When I want to upload a new file to Microsoft teams that is on a different SSD I get the following error:

Could not read the contents of backup
Error opening dictionary '/mnt/backup': Permission denied

Error Image

I've mounted the drive using the following line in /etc/fstab:

/dev/disk/by-uuid/6fa6ae01-fcd4-4771-a89d-cffa9744d630 /mnt/backup auto nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show 0 0

When using Firefox it can upload files from the mounted drive without any problems.

Has anyone any idea how to fix this?

Edit:

Tried the snap connect some-snap-name:removable-media command:

error: snap "teams-for-linux" has no plug named "removable-media"

Edit 2:

Also tried "Microsoft Teams - Preview". Unfortunately the same problem.

error: snap "teams" has no plug named "removable-media"

Edit 3:

Also tried "Microsoft Teams - Insiders". Unfortunately the same problem.

error: snap "teams-insiders" has no plug named "removable-media"

  • Is it a Snap package? – N0rbert Apr 28 '21 at 20:11
  • Yes, I installed Microsoft Teams using the Ubuntu Software Application. – Alwin Apr 28 '21 at 20:14
  • Does this answer your question? [How to get access to USB-storage from an application installed as Snap?](https://askubuntu.com/questions/1034030/how-to-get-access-to-usb-storage-from-an-application-installed-as-snap) – N0rbert Apr 28 '21 at 20:17
  • Thanks that helps, but unfortunately I the error I posted in the question. – Alwin Apr 28 '21 at 20:28
  • I will open a GitHub Issue on Teams. – Alwin Apr 28 '21 at 20:31
  • Opening issue on https://github.com/IsmaelMartinez/teams-for-linux is good idea. Then I would recommend other snaps with teams - https://snapcraft.io/teams or https://snapcraft.io/teams-insiders . – N0rbert Apr 28 '21 at 20:31
  • I tried both versions, but unfortunately I have the same problem. – Alwin Apr 28 '21 at 20:40

According to the search on Repology and then in AUR - MS has deb-package of the Teams application.

So you have to remove Snap based version and then install deb-version with:

cd ~/Downloads
wget https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/ms-teams/pool/main/t/teams/teams_1.4.00.13653_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install ./teams_1.4.00.13653_amd64.deb
