    Does this answer your question? How to give snaps access to /somedir Commented Oct 25, 2020 at 15:28
  • Thank you very much. I tried uninstalling the chromium snap and reinstalling, both with --devmode and with --classic. In both cases, I still couldn't access my /opt partition. Commented Oct 25, 2020 at 16:29
  • b.t.w. as I said in my answer, classic confinement has to be supported. It is not for Chromium, so that is not an option. ("Warning: flag --classic ignored for strictly confined snap chromium") Commented Oct 25, 2020 at 17:26
  • Yes, I know what you said about it not working for classic confinement. I just tried it anyway, just in case, and not surprisingly, what you wrote is correct. Commented Oct 25, 2020 at 17:41
  • Update: see "NEW INFORMATION" which I added to my accepted answer. I discovered a way to run chromium from the original snap bundle, but without any containment restrictions. Commented Oct 27, 2020 at 17:50
