<rage mode> This affects me too after upgrading from 18.04 LTS to 20.04 and I fint it COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE.
The use of symlinks from /home to data on larger drives (which are shared between windows and linux systems, and not unix FS) is industry standard since over 30 years and this regression is atrocious. I will remove the snap and install the .DEB until it is resolved. My root disk is too small for the files i need to upload so a symlink to the storage drive which is permanently mounted in fstab under /datasjoe is necessary. The implication you have also broken access to removable media by default is likewise idiocy, any user is right in assuming he/she can acess theyir usb drves anywhere in their desktop system. Think again. </rage mode> please? I dont want to have to give up ubuntu after 11 years of daily driving it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1851250 Title: [snap] chromium-browser snap cannot upload files outside ~ Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: After upgrading from 19.04 to 19.10, my Chromium package was converted to a snap. After figuring out how to manually reconnect the password manager, and figuring out how to apply CHROMIUM_FLAGS that used to live in /etc/chromium-browser/default, and noticing that GMail is no longer able to play a sound when a call comes in, now I see that I am unable to upload files from anywhere except my home directory! Connecting chromium:removable-media as in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium- browser/+bug/1832711 does not help with anything else. Is there some way to let the file upload dialog work on any file my user account has access to? Or run this snap in --classic mode? If not, this seems like a critical limitation, as I need this multiple times a day. Switching to Chrome or Firefox cannot be the only workaround for this, surely?
