Are USB drives mounted by the same user? In bookworm udisks (used by 
GUI) restricts access by default to the user who requested mount.

In the case of snap or flatpak sandboxing it may be a different kind of 
permissions. Check desktop environment settings for application permissions.

Some years ago I noticed that Firefox from snap (Ubuntu) could not 
access files from /usr/share/doc. Perhaps it was aimed to prevent 
stealing some data (while making home directory availabe).
