Snap Inkscape cannot access network folders

Summary:

I have a NAS drive mounted in /media/NAS. I changed the Inkscape permissions in Snap to be able to access removable media, but I cannot access it. When I go to /media in the File->Open... dialog I see the NAS icon like this: Screenshot_from_2020-07-04_15-11-16

Steps to reproduce:

  • Mount some network drive.
  • Install Snap version of Inkscape
  • Permit access to removable media.
  • Open Inkscape.
  • Try to access the mounted network drive.

What happened?

  • Couldn't access it.

What should have happened?

  • Inkscape should have been able to access it, just like I navigate to it using the file manager.

Version Info:

- Inkscape Version: 1.0 (6e3e5246a0, 2020-05-07)
- Operating System: Ubuntu
