1) Pcmanfm installs and runs on many Linux systems but it is basically designed for Debian gnome, which means, though you use it in Linux Lite you do not have the Debian UI to choose the settings for mounting volumes, or open as administrator. Of course these things can be configured manually, but that is really not what LL is about, and running XFCE to do so is counter-intuitive anyway, given that the functions are already available in a UI for Thunar the default file manager for XFCE. The UI for Thunar is not functionally interchangeable with the UI for pcmanfm. We should be discussing drag and drop problems with Thunar not pcmanfm. Also gksu is no longer used in Debian to open pcmanfm as root thus the terminal gtk warnings I'm sure you noticed when you did so.
2) Your partitions on the storage disk are fat32 which means the volumes are seen as media and mounted from the media channel thus the /media/ in the file path, and the lack of an entry in fstab. A permanent entry is not necessary to mount to the /media/ path.
3) I'm not responding in this fashion to criticize this discussion, but to point out that as a whole the thread may confuse other new LL users, as it is generally not about DE configuration issues specifically involving Linux Lite, and thus not a support thread.
