Add access to /media about nextcloud-snap HOT 4 CLOSED

You state benefits, but you don't state why these benefits are actually benefits 😛 .

Creates a permanent storage location. Currently, when adding other Nextcloud snaps, they're all empty

Why is that a bad thing?

Provides an area which will survive a snap removal, whether by accident or because it has become unrecoverable

I kind of like that the data is owned by the snap-- remove it and you're done. Purposefully leaving things lying around is not quite as slick.

Allows Nextcloud to have access to data of other snaps

Why do we want this?

Why is that a bad thing?

It's not necessarily a bad thing, but when testing various snaps with different features, developers have to recreate the content in every snap they load. When this is enabled, developers will be able to add various folders to their Snaps for quick testing.

I find it scary :). Anything happens to the Snap and the data is gone. If you type the wrong command like snap remove it's gone if I'm not mistaken.
In the end it's just another option for those who want a safe location for some of their data per example.

Allows Nextcloud to have access to data of other snaps

Why do we want this?

Because other snaps can provide access to more files which would not otherwise be directly accessible from Nextcloud.

I've also just added these 3 reasons:

• Gives access to mounted network storage
• Makes it possible to create backups
• Gives access to USB sticks?

What about a wrong command like rm -rf 😉 ? The simplicity of the snap (including its ownage of everything) is one of the main draws, I suggest we be careful not to negate that. But I digress.

Okay, those reasons make more sense to me.

True, the data on /media wouldn't be protected as well as when it's stored inside the Snap, but I think that offering that option wouldn't hurt :)
