Reference post: Create virtual USB drive
Problem statement: I would like to create/ convert and area on my (Ubuntu 20.04) filesystem such that application's think a USB is connected to my machine, and any files I place in that filesystem directory show up in the "virtual/ faux" usb.
I followed the instructions provided in the response in the reference post linked above. When I view my file explorer, this mount shows up as a connected drive, but applications don't seem to recognize that any USB is connected. I've even changed the mkfs
type to fat
, and still it is not recognized.
