Mounting external USB HDD Drive

I am running Home Assistant OS on a Raspberry Pi4 and i would like to add as media folder an USB HDD Drive or an USB Stick. I cannot find any information here about how to do this. I tried to add manually through the terminal but i get always “permission denied - are you root” answer.
Can somebody tell me where to find right instructions about it or a simple guide step by step ?
Thanks in advance.

I am having the same problem. Although I am seeing a bit different error when trying to mount disk from cli:

[core-ssh ~]$ whoami 
root
[core-ssh ~]$ lsblk 
NAME        MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
sda           8:0    0 894.3G  0 disk 
... 
[core-ssh ~]$ ls -la /media/kingston/
total 8
drwxrwxrwx    2 root     root          4096 Dec  6 10:53 .
drwxr-xr-x    6 root     root          4096 Dec  6 10:53 ..
[core-ssh ~]$ mount /dev/sda /media/kingston
mount: mounting /dev/sda on /media/kingston failed: Permission denied

Did you manage to sort this out? Thanks!
