Mount HDD without password in Gnome

I did fresh install and decided to go with gnome this time.
I have 2 disks in my PC
NVME for system (btrfs)
HDD for data (ext4)

It's the firs time I use gnome. Before xfce and kde.
In KDE or xfce I could open my HDD like any other directory. It was mounted automatically after clicling on it.
In gnome I have to input my password. How can I change that?
I don't want to mount disk during system startup. Only when I open it in file browser.

Re: Mount HDD without password in Gnome

You need to create an fstab for the HDD partition:

EDIT: Nevermind, I thought you just wanted to mount it as a user, I missed the part where you didn't want it mounted at startup. This approach will mount your hard drive at startup.

Have you read Udisks#Configuration?

No
I'll look at this.
Is udisk automatically configured in xfce? In XFCE I didn't need to configure anything.
