Pen Drive not reading after formatting-Permission denied
Recently,I bought a pen drive:hp flash drive v301w.It was working fine when I first used it but when I formatted it,it does not appear on Files anymore, but it appears in Disks:
Then I created a partition in the name hp v301w.After that it does appear in Files but then this message pops up:
When I tried to copy a file into the pen drive,this screen appears:
The properties of the pen drive are:
The permissions state that: "The Permissions of "hp v301w" could not be determined."
Is there any way to solve this?By the way I'm using Ubuntu 19.10. Thank you in advance.
Edit: When I input this command,it gave me the following output:
devananda@deva:~$ /media/devananda
bash: /media/devananda: Permission denied
devananda@deva:~$```
Also when I tried to open the file /media/ in terminal,I cannot find the command 'open in terminal'.
Edit 2:
Output of ls -al:

This problem can occur sometimes
Step 1: Press Ctrl Alt t to open terminal. Step 2: Connect the USB and go to /media/<user> where <user> is your user name. Paste the command in the terminal
cd /media/devananda
Step 3: Type ls -al and see if the USB mount point is owned by root.
Step 4: If it is owned by `root, then, type
sudo chown [username]:[username] [mount point]
and enter your password when asked
