Every time I need to use a command to mount an external hard disk in WSL












0















I am using Ubuntu 18.10 in WSL in Windows 10. Whenever I open a Linux terminal with an external hard disk I need to use a command to mount the hard drive in the terminal. If I do not use the sudo command to mount the hard drive I cannot enter the hard drive directory.
Is there any solution for this. Please help me with this.
