<![CDATA[[Solved]Can't access file outside /home dir]]>Hello,
I'm a new Opera user on Ubuntu.
Opera cannot access the local file outside the / home directory.
For example, to upload a local file to Google Drive, I must first copy it to / home

I think it's a snap application problem because it has already happened to me in the past with Gimp.
Is there any way to solve it?

First I installed from Ubuntu repository that have only snap version 👎🏼
Now I installed .deb from Opera website and it work fine 👍🏼

What you face is one of major disabilities of the snap apps. Because they run in a sandboxed enviroment, they can not access everything on the filesystem.
