It might seem straightforward, but the process isn't as simple as changing permissions. I modified the SD card with a tool on Linux, backed up the data, and formatted it for exFAT. Despite adjusting ownership via chown or chmod, I still can't have it recognized under my Windows profile. The issue lies in how Windows interprets the file system and ownership. Have you tried using a different partitioning method or checking the file system type?

Ensure file access rights on your SD card by using a different filesystem like ext4. exFAT doesn't support permissions.

It was exFAT. Wine reported I didn’t own it. Probably Windows is being silly when I formatted the SD card. I just tried fat32 now and it worked. EXT4 wouldn’t let me adjust permissions and had strange issues with apps opening files.

Sure thing. According to wineprefix I haven't got it yet. I'm really confused.

I mentioned needing a file system with a robust permission setup, avoiding exFAT and FAT32 limitations.

However, you just mentioned that... It turned out to be okay now. I was executing wineprefix with sudo, and since only the owner had access to the files, root wasn't able to make any changes.
