I can’t change directory and file permissions which is in /mnt/ through elevated Nemo. But can change in /. Why?

Apparently, this happens due to Automount. Because when I mount manually, this problem doesn’t occur.

I also changed /mnt/Storage to /media/user/Storage/ on auto mount, still the same problem occurs.

uploaded on reddit because lemmy doen’t allow videos .sorry for the quality reddit squashed it. Also my user name is blurred.

Also this an automounted NTFS partition, if it has to do anything with this,

I tried restarting. Doesn’t work.

I know about chown and chmod. But I wanna do it in GUI.

==============================================================

SOLVED

Include uid= and gid= as part of your mount options.

For More info look at this.

What does it do if you right click => properties => Permission and cant you change it there? Or does it reset every restart?
