somehow media is the only folder with it having a lock symbol , i did the thing in the post u suggested it wasnt a solution but it was like if they have acces and im pretty sure they do from what i understood that emby has acces but in the post you mentioned to me the bottom partt about ntfs (thee 1tb  im talking about is ntfs ii didnt understand what to do)

ok so i did rw,uid=ziad,gid=ziad for the boot optiotns in disk and it worked i could acces it but it would show on the side or in other locations in the files app its now in like the partition in where i installed ubuntu on its in a folder called mnt is there a way to have the hdd on the sidebar like before and work in the same time
