Thanks to all for the replies. I figured out how to access my external drives. I moved to Ubuntu/Linux after 25 years of MSFT OSes, so some things that should be obvious occasionally escape me. Realized I needed to tap the /media/ folder in Folder Manager.
As far as the UI goes, the menu fonts are jagged and small. The blue hyperlinks on far-left size of the menu are unintelligible. Maybe I don't have the correct fonts installed? I do have TrueType Core Fonts installed.
