[Solved] Permission issues for automounted devices in Gnome 3

I am unable to write into any device after it has been automounted in Gnome 3. I get the following error:

There was an error copying the file into /run/media/dhaval/3C2E3A4E2E3A0206. Permission denied.

I set up Gnome 3 according to the instructions in the wiki. Searching through the forums did not lead to any results.

This happens with all external devices and also with my internal secondary hard drive.

I have no idea what to try. If you could give me a list of things I should try, or point me to any relevant forum link, it would be very helpful.

What groups is your user part of? Do you have the partitions of your second internal drive in fstab? If so, cope the line here.

Maybe you need ntfs-3g.
