TLDR: snap confinement should not be applied to tools like ipfs-desktop. This is called "classic" mode.

I filled a request to apply "classic" confinement to ipfs-desktop in https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/ipfs-desktop-classic-review/28517

馃憠 Until this is fixed, please avoid using Snap, and choose .AppImage instead.
馃憠 If you really, really want to use Snap, please raise support here.

If anyone familiar with Snap has time to debug this, please comment in this thread.

Taking a step back:

We have 1k of users at https://snapcraft.io/ipfs-desktop and maintenance burden is not worth it.
If we don't get classic confinement, I suggest we follow the plan from ipfs/kubo#8688
