I’ve been having trouble with getting a 2TB Fat32 formatted USB drive to work nicely in Ubuntu 24.04.1

I’m very new to Linux and have only gotten this far by reading old message boards and tutorials, but here’s where I’m at with it.

I created a .rules file named 90-usb-disks.rules

It lives in /etc/udev/rules.d

Inside it says:

/# UDEV Rules to change the permission of USB disks

KERNEL==“sd*[0-9]”, ATTR{removable}==“1”, ENV{ID_BUS}==“usb”, MODE=“0022”

Now this works… for my user. I have ownership of any USB storage device as soon as I plug it in. I can rwx, but my group (with the same name as my user) can only read.

Trying to change access from the Nautilus permissions pane just starts an endless progress bar that never passes “preparing” as it asks for my password every 90 seconds.

There must be a way to edit this to allow the group to allow rwx access as well, but I just copy/pasted this solution from a forum, I have no idea what those settings actually mean. Please help; thanks in advance :)
