ell, the drive is working, but as you see, dropbox has a lock on it and when you click on it, you get an error. ( See attachment ) I had to install dropbox CLI to get dropbox to work, since there is no app indicator for TDE, and its putting my data folder in /home instead of on /data the only way to move my data folder is with the gui, Google says, which does not work in TDE, due to no app indicator. I wonder if logging into Cinnamon, and using the GUI there would move the folder to /data, then log out and back into TDE?
Here again you show no information that includes owner/group or permissions. The problem most likely is the dropbox folder was created with permissions limited to user 1000/chris, and needs changing via a chmod 770 command. Why it shows in the temp directory labeled "media" I can't answer, but as I already noted, the /media/ directory is intended for removable media, not internal storage, such as nvme.
Dunno why you'd want to make your data partition two levels away from your home, which is what /data amounts to, instead of one, in /home/data. Nevertheless you can make it easier yet by symlinking its location directly into both /home/chris and /home/chrisontde. First the permissions blockage needs to be eradicated.
