Would be nice if wine prefixes were capable of reading and writing to other drives on the system and not just the drive the prefix is on.
Also the file manager wine uses sucks.
Wine can perfectly fine read/access all the drives on the System. Are you using some kind of sandboxing? Flatpak? Bottles?
The file Manager from wine is more or less the classic windows file explorer, and Yes it is very much outdated by now.
