The folder exists and mounted on the correct directory.

here, the folder "Downloaded Program Files" has SteamLibrary folder inside.
but there is no plus sign like any other folder with subfolders.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. get on Artix Linux with s6 init
  2. install steam via flatpak
  3. try to add your existing steamlibrary folder

Hello @widkit, this issue sounds like the same Flatpak issue as https://github.com/flathub/com.valvesoftware.Steam/wiki#i-want-to-add-external-disk-for-steam-libraries / https://github.com/flathub/com.valvesoftware.Steam/issues/55. Your issue is with the nature of Flatpak's sandboxing and not Steam.
