I can not figure out how to make my drives appear on my desktop. I have 2 tb drives and when Ubuntu 18.04 Boots neither of them show in Nautilus. Unless i click other locations and click on one of them. Now once i click on the 2nd drive it puts it on my desktop but my main drive doesn't. If i have to do some kind of auto mounting please explain in detail what to do as I'm not familiar with mounting of drives. I'm utterly confused as to why a drive has to be mounted at all.
