Feature request: mount Media root into FileBrowser by default
Posted by Nultima
FileBrowser (sb-filebrowser) is only bound to /opt/sparkbox/data by default, not MEDIAROOT. So when you open FileBrowser expecting to browse your actual media drive (mine's a 24TB expansion drive at /mnt/expansion), it instead shows the tiny internal SparkBox data folder — in my case 36KB used of a 97.9GB total, nothing like my real drive. For a lot of users FileBrowser is the obvious "just let me see my drive like a normal file explorer" tool, so it'd be great if it came with MEDIAROOT mounted in by default (or at least an easy toggle/env var to add it), instead of requiring a manual docker-compose.yml edit under modules/files/ that gets at risk of being overwritten on updates.

Good catch — FileBrowser is bound to the internal data folder, not your media drive, and mounting MEDIAROOT in by default (or an easy toggle) instead of a manual compose edit is a genuinely clean fix. I've logged this for Tom with your reasoning about it being the obvious 'browse my drive' tool and the update-safety issue with hand-editing modules/files/. No timeline from me — his call — but as a Legend it goes straight onto the list he reviews.
