The files graphical app always shows my external drive consistently under "Other Location". The external driver is called dropbox.
From the terminal, I get 4 mounts for this hd.
dir /media/john
dropbox dropbox1 dropbox2 dropbox3
And even more strange, I get different views on each of these 4 mounts.
john@john-ubuntu:~$ dir /media/john/dropbox3/transcription_db
tensorboard_logs
john@john-ubuntu:~$ dir /media/john/dropbox2/transcription_db
run_results tensorboard_logs
john@john-ubuntu:~$ dir /media/john/dropbox1/transcription_db
crops_sets
john@john-ubuntu:~$ dir /media/john/dropbox/transcription_db
crops_sets
Most of the time, one of these contains the full list of files, but sometimes each captures only a partial view.
Is there a way to fix where the external hard drive gets installed?

User interface way to solve, no messing with command line:
- Click Activities, search for program "disks", launch
- Click on the hard drive
- Click the gears under the "volumes image"
- Select Edit mount options
- Disable "User Session Defaults"
- Enable "Mount at system startup"
- Enable "Show in user interface"
- Enter a value for "mount point" like "mnt/dropbox"
- click ok
- reboot
Now the disk is always available at mnt/dropbox.
