reading the inserted SSD - gilwood - 12-30-2021
I added a music, pdf and vcf (for contacts) to an SSD and inserted it into my pinephone running Manjaro (version 18). Unfortunately, Lollypop, Document viewer and Contacts can only access files on the eMMC. I can see both the eMMC and micro SSD using Disks so I know the OS is seeing the micro SSD. I have also confirmed everything is mounted and ready to be accessed using lsblk in terminal. I am basically trying the different programs in this OS to learn what they do and what parts of the phone respond (work). Thanks to all for getting me this far but I need insight and assistance from more experienced Linux gurus.
Please note the camera is working but stores the photos on the eMMC whereas, I would like to store them on the removable SSD.

Wouldn't a USB-C to SATA adapter help in this case?
Never tried, so I can't say for sure it'll help.
Basically, if you can't see it in "lsblk", it means your phone can't see it.
