I am just going to create a dual boot pc. I have a windows 10 installed on ssd and have another hdd which store other data. I am going to add additional ssd for ubuntu 20.4.

How do I share the data between thses dual boot system? I want both os to share my files and photos through my hard drive.

  • Format the HDD as NTFS.
  • You should have no trouble with Windows. Your HDD will automatically appear in "File Explorer".
  • For Ubuntu,
    1. Format and partition your HDD using GParted (install with sudo apt install gparted in terminal).
    2. Go to the "Disk" utility.
    3. Select your HDD.
    4. Select the icon with 2 cogwheels.
    5. Select "Edit Mount Options".
    6. Turn the "User Session Defaults" option to "Off".
    7. Check the box "Mount at system startup" Make sure "Show in the user interface" is also checked.
    8. Replace the line that says nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show to users,uid=1000,dmask=027,fmask=137,x-gvfs-show,utf8
    9. Change the "Mount point" to something less complicated like /mnt/MyFiles.
    10. Change the "Filesystem Type" to ntfs-3g.
    11. Click "OK".
    12. You will see Windows system files in Ubuntu (Like $Recycke.bin folder. Don't delete or change things you didn't make. You will also be able to see Ubuntu files from Windows (Like .trash) Don't delete/change them either.
