Can't write on FAT32 partition although having rw mount option [Ubuntu 18]?
I have recently moved from Ubuntu 16 to 18 and I have a problem using a partition that I have set it automatically mount on startup. The problem is shift-delete or right click-new folder are not working. In terminal I have to do it by sudo. I added an fstab option rw to make it writable but still it doesn't work.
partitioning permissions mount fstab

Read man mount, especially the "Mount options for fat" part. You can use the uid= and gid= options to make all the files owned by the specified UID and GID. If it's already mounted, you could do something like
target=/dev/...
mntdir=the directory where it should be mounted
sudo mount -t vfat -o remount,rw,user,users,nosuid,nodev,relatime,uid=$(id -u),gid=$(id -g),fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,showexec,utf8,flush,errors=remount-ro,uhelper=udisks2 $target $mntdir
