18.04 is in a bit of a bad place for this unfortunately - Ubuntu ship
patched versions of standard critical Gnome software (like Nautilus
particularly) that is used as the default by most installs, even if you
use a different DE.
Personally - even though I'm probably one of the last people left who
actually likes Gnome3 - I've been using Thunar from XFCE as my default
file manager forever, especially on Gnome. Just for a start it has sane
zooming levels, more functional controls and the left tree pane shows
all my mounted drives. Not that I particularly want it to or care, but
it's exactly what you want by the sounds of it.
sudo apt install thunar
Beware massive coming changes in the default behaviour of Ubuntu and its
derivatives with the release of 18.10/Cosmic - no desktop icons via
Nautilus!
Cheers
