For 7zip, Open Office , Audacity and so much snap app, the applications haven't permissions enough to be able to read or save into the directories I choose in almost directories except default home directory. This is embarassing because I habve to move big files from my /DATA to the ~/

Of course as session user I can do what I need into all those directories in ubuntu because of the permissions RWX I set to my session user ; I can also access to all my paths if I install those applications with the legacy way (without snap app manager)

Have you ever seen this and then which workarroud.

Thank you and nice week-end, Christophe FR

The snap infrastructure is strict in that respect indeed. You will need to make your data available in a location for which a "connector" is available, i.e., a visible folder in your home folder, or a removable drive under /media/. There is currently no way out than to have your snap applications work with supported paths.

The most straightforward approach will be to directly mount your drive under one of these paths. However, linux also has the mount --bind facility. That way, you could bind partition mounted under, e.g., /data/, or any subdirectory of it, to a directory where your snap app has access.
