When I access a network folder using nautilus it shows up in the Places sidebar, but not in any other application's save/open Places sidebar. Why the inconsistency, and how can I add a share so every application has access to it without having to edit fstab?
By default network shares are mounted in the hidden directory
~/.gvfs
in our home directory. You can browse there with any application provided you have enabled to display hidden folders.smbnetfs![Install smbnetfs](https://hostmar.co/software-small)
With this tool we are also able to mount network shares as a non-root user in any newly created folder in our home directories. For a short explanation on how to use it see this answer.
You can mount network disk through terminal by command:
Make sure package
cifs-utils
is installed. After logout network disk will be dismounted.
