Just adding that this issue has recently affected my work flow trying to upload a file to social media site in hopes of generating actual deniro . . . but could not get my own files to show up in what I was hoping would be my /home directory . . . but was instead a "snap" "virtual home" directory, so that it showed as "empty" . . . ?? very disruptive to routine uses . . . ??? I posted to wxl that if this was to prevent me from uploading his files to my social media then that "makes sense" . . . but to prevent me from simply uploading my own files n the system I'm booted and logged into . . . non-sensical . . .
