I get no HDD device mount icons on Nautilus when running nautilus non-root in Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver. Any help in solving this?

I'll like to mount drives directly from nautilus sidebar (devices part). I noticed that if I ran nautilus root, it will show the hard drives and other devices on the devices list and I could mount and unmount them.

The design has changed and you need to bookmark them first. You will probably want to rename the bookmark as well. This GIF illustrates the technique:

  • From your "other locations" list pick a partition.
  • Click the upper right "hamburger" menu.
  • From the dropdown menu click the center menu button to bookmark it.
  • Move to the new sidebar entry and rename it from the mount name ("c" in my example) to something more meaningful ("Windows 10 SSD" in my example).

As a workaround, I changed the filemanager to the nemo, but I'am still interested at getting the nautilus working.
