Ubuntu 16.04: USB stick mounts, but standard user has no access
My kids have on our home PC for security reasons only standard user access, but they want to use their USB sticks. But only I have access (Admin). On the kids accounts the usb stick mounts, but they are not granted any access, they can format it but even then - no further access. I tried to give them access via a group, but I can't activate this group in the Properties/Permission menu - it always switches back to the old content. I already tried several other methods (i.e. Chmod) suggested on the internet - didn't work. On windows 7 there is no problem with the USB stick at all. And, yes, I have formatted it several time (Fat32.0)
Any ideas / suggestions ?
TIA, Joe eoJ
