Public bug reported:
I tried removing the Filebot DEB package and installing the snap
version. Unfortunately after installing Filebot using snap and starting
it I found that the snap Filebot was only able to access files and
directories under /home/<my username>.
This makes it pretty useless and most of my video files are stored on
USB hard drives (due to their size). I assume VLC would also have the
same problem.
The root cause is that once packaged as a snap desktop applications can
no longer access removeable media such as USB hard drives and USB
sticks, and probably not DVDs and Blurays either in the case of VLC.
