Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Server : Error Opening File : Permission Denied

I am attempting to upload a file to IPFS from a mounted hard drive and keep getting this error that says permission denied. You can see the permissions below and I should have access.

ubuntu@ubuntu:/mnt/torrents/completed$ sudo ipfs add '2616 images from huble space telescope.zip'
Error: open 2616 images from huble space telescope.zip: permission denied

ubuntu@ubuntu:/mnt/torrents/completed$ ls -l '2616 images from huble space telescope.zip'
-rwxrwxr-x 1 ubuntu ubuntu 77208213702 Sep  7 19:42 '2616 images from huble space telescope.zip'

I tried updating the fstab

LABEL=writable  /        ext4   defaults        0 1
LABEL=system-boot       /boot/firmware  vfat    defaults         0         1
/dev/sda1       /mnt/torrents   ext4    auto,user,rw    0 1

No change

This is causing major delays for two large projects.

This issue was due to the the fact that I used a snap installation of ipfs sudo snap install ipfs which is restricted in scope by the nature of being a snap package. see GitIssue

In order to solve this I removed my installation of ipfs and reinstalled with sudo snap install ipfs --classic
