SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. open it
2. create a partition table and partition ext4
3. open drive in file manager
4. try to move a file to the drive, it's impossible.

OBSERVED RESULT

can't write to drive via file manager (unless you're using using acient software that allows opening gui as root)


EXPECTED RESULT

should be able to write to drive without root access, or at least have a gui option to create a writable drive. Otherwise, what is even the point of the GUI if you have to drop to the CLI to change permissions?

no root as default makes more sense, since root access for a removable drive makes absolutely no sense. I think Gnome Disks has sane behavior in this regard.
