Public bug reported: nautilus 3.20 should show external drivers in its sidebar (I believe this is the case since 3.19). It always shows my SD card drive in the sidebar, but it only shows external USB drives in the sidebar if I plug them in once I have logged into the desktop. If they are plugged in during a reboot and I log in, they only appear in 'Other Locations' (and the SD card does not appear there; I don't know if that's a bug or not).
If I unmount the external drives and remount them, they still only appear in 'Other Locations'. I have to unmount them, remove them and plug them back in for them to appear in the sidebar. The attached shows nautilus with 3 drives plugged in. The SD card appears in the sidebar, but the USB drives (a btrfs and another with a btrfs and a ntfs partition) only are in 'Other Locations'.
