I've successfully mounted my USB drive, but I'm struggling to open it. When I try using the terminal, it doesn't seem to work, and I can't find it in the file manager either. I eventually figured out that I was typing the directory path wrong. Any tips on how to properly access my USB drive?

You can check where it's mounted by using the 'lsblk' command in the terminal. It'll show you the mount points. For example, it might be something like /run/media/yourusername/YourUSB.
Try navigating to your mount point in the terminal. If the mounting worked, you should be able to use the 'cd' command to go there, or 'ls' to list its contents. It's often set to something like /media/username/devicename, but you can mount it wherever you want.
In most cases, unmounted USB drives appear in the file manager. Since yours is mounted, just go to the directory where you mounted it, and you should find your files there.
What Linux distribution are you using? If you see it in your file manager, right-clicking it can show you where it's mounted. Otherwise, you might just need to try to access it through the GUI.
You should just open the file manager on your system. Your USB drive should be listed there unless something's off.
