You need to find the menu that lets you input an address bar for the SD card details. Check the options related to storage configuration or device settings, as this is typically where you can enter the card's address.

There should be a scroll bar for the left hand bar. Scroll down to other location, then computer, and you see all the files on /. I think the sd card is under /run/media.

I attempted it but it didn't function. The URL I received is /run/media/mmcblk0p1/, but nothing appears when I enter it. It looks like the bar is intended for a server address, or I may have entered the SD card address incorrectly.

I discovered a workaround. Just plug in the SD card and use “open with” on each main folder. It’s a bit messier now since I can’t apply “open with” across the entire micro SD card. If anyone knows how to right-click and use “open with” for the whole card or adds an address bar for typing the location, it would be super helpful.

QDISTAT has consistently been my primary tool for directory examination. It's unlikely you'll find a similar resource in an archived repository. There could be a predefined filter on /run/media/* since this is typically where removable drives are stored, not part of your main hard drives. Binding the SD card to a location within /mnt/ should resolve the issue if that's the source: sudo -i or sudo su followed by mkdir and mount commands. After unmounting, rmdir /mnt/sdcard should list it as a drive option in your disk analysis software, appearing under "devices" in Dolphin (though this may require interaction in other file managers).

I might not have described the problem clearly. It’s not because I can’t locate it. I can still find it easily, using the standard file manager, Dolphin. The issue is that with the app disk usage analyzer, when I try to add the entire SD card, I’m required to enter the SD card address. Unlike the videos and guides I saw, clicking “scan folder” doesn’t show an address bar for me to type, so I can only see the internal SSD folders.

Since it's treated as an external disk by gtk/gnome applications, opt for a tool that offers greater oversight (such as qdirstat) or manipulate the application to show it.
