[Help] Remix OS 3.0 - How to enable HDD access for Desktop users?

[Digong]

Hi,

I have been using Remix OS for weeks now. It is an amazing operating system. I have tried Linux and Mac as an alternative for Windows, and only Remix OS made me use use it as my main OS. I would keep it as my main OS but I have this major annoyance with the latest version. For some reason, I could not access my secondary hard drive. This sucks because that's were I keep all my files and downloads. If someone could please post a working guide on how to enable it, I would be very thankful.

Thank you.

I'm currently using StickMount & works perfect, except for one thing... SD Maid: I don't know to do to the System Cleaner section not recognize the other partitions... tried adding them to the exclusions but does'nt work, I can only unmount then remount.

What are you excluding? /sdcard/usbStorage/ or /data/media/0/usbStorage/

Thank you. I will give it a try and I will post the results. I am currently running 403 64-bit. I'll play around with StickMount first before I reinstall 3.0

Some apps can be a bit odd when using root (and not follow symlinks); /sdcard should be a symlink to /data/media/0 so that might work here...

Please advise.

Ignore my posted screenshot above. I got it resolved by moving the RMXTools folder to the desktop instead of my secondary hard drive.
@lollyjay, xSilverlight thanks for your help guys. It worked. I am using Solid Explorer as my File Manager and although it is no longer showing by default, I can always add it to bookmark for easy access.

thanks again. however, i ended up rolling back to 403 64bit. 3.0 seems slow and laggy in my system. 8ball pool crashes too :/ will wait for a better update.
