Hi,

This is happening with me too.
Probably this is a snap bug. The solution for that is to remove the
app and install it again and make sure to connect the interface before
to run the app for the first time.

I am having this problem in two situations:

1 - If I run the app that uses the content share before connect it,
the connection command does not mount the directories anymore (I need
to remove and install the app again, and connect the interface before
run the app for the first time)

2 - If I install a new version of the app the content share directory
does not get mounted and I need to use the same solution as number 1
