I installed Ubuntu(dualboot) with no problems on my ssd , and my hdd (ntsf) is mounted with permission to write and read files on.
I cant acces files on my HDD to upload , even download when the windo to select files is up.
The hdd is located /media/passe2142/Almacenamiento.
sudo chown -R username '/media' and got to change the permision but the problem persist.
Later I tried this:
sudo ntfs-config
(ntfs-config:4763): IBUS-WARNING **: The owner of /home/passe/.config/ibus/bus is not root!
And got this error.
(DONT DO THIS)
I try to use
sudo chown -R passe '/' and it didnt work.
UPDATE
I have reinstall it. The mistake i made was messing with the permissions.
So as you know im a complete noob in this OS.
The issue is that i would like to be able to upload/download files directly from my Hdd.
UPDATE 2
I was using chromium as browser, in firefox there is no problem. I can choose other locations like my hdd. Weird. It also happens if i want to add local files to spotify.
Really sorry for my bad english.

Wait, did you really runsudo chown -R passe '/'? If not do not run this command! That will change the ownership of all files and directories on your system to belong to the userpasse, effectively breaking your system.

I'm not sure that I understand well what you are trying to do, and what your expectations are. You are not supposed to write anything to/mediadirectly. This directory should contain a directory for each user mounting/umounting external stuff (memory sticks, etc..) That said,/media/passe/Almacenamientois apparently something that you've plugged in and you can expect being able to read and write from/to that directory. Is that not the case?

Try running the following command:
sudo usermod -a -G plugdev,cdrom passe
Restart and see if it works now.

That command will as the root user need to change with the cdrom group for accessing cdroms and the plugdev group which allows you to mount filesystems which is what you are were orginally attempting to do before changing ownership of your system files.
