I have tried to use P3X OneNote under Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS but I have encountered the problem, that from the application (insert file) I cannot access my NTFS drive with the message /media/peter/Data Permission denied. If I try to open the drive from Files, it works without any problems. I encounter the same behaviour when I try to insert a file in Joplin as well. /media/peter/Data is set to attributes drwxrwxrwx. Thank you for any suggestions I could try!

- Apart from the system partitions, an internal partition, i.e., a partition on a disk in the computer, is not mounted by default. To use such partition, it must first be mounted explicitly by clicking its icon in Files.
- Even then, sandboxed applications may not be able to access the partition. Your applications likely are installed as snap packages. This is a new packaging format that "sandboxes" the applications: applications cannot anymore access any resource on your computer. Likely, both of your applications have been granted access to your home folder, but not to removable drives.
Either copy the files you want to work with to somewhere under your home folder for editing, or grant your applications permission to access removable drives, which are mounted under /media/. This can be done from within the Snap store.
