Syncthing cannot access /media/me/ExternalDrive on an Ubuntu based distro

This is the notice message I get on the web GUI:

<small>2020-02-28 03:19:25:</small> Error on folder "laptop_phone_sync" (laptop_phone_sync): folder path missing

I doubled checked the path and i’m 100% sure it’s correct. It also doesn’t seem like a permission issue. I checked who runs the Syncthing process by typing: ps aux | grep syncthing in a terminal, and sure enough, it was me. And obviously I have access to /media and all its subfolders.

Any idea what might be the problem? Thanks
