I need to map network shares from my Synology NAS and also from a Win11 Pro desktop. There are just so many variations on how to do this. All I need to do is map drive letters to shares on startup so they are always available.

Sorry for the noob question.

    I’m honestly confused as to why everyone here is avoiding actually answering your question. Anyway, for most modern file browsers in Linux:

    • Type into the address bar: smb://ip-address-or-domain/share-name
    • It should ask for login credentials. Enter your login for the server you’re accessing. Click “remember forever” or something like that.
    • Once you’re in, right-click the share in the navigation pane to the left and click “create bookmark” or something like that. When doing so, there may also be a checkbox to make it persistent - if so, check it.

        I use sftp://files.lan with my Synology rather than SMB as its usually easier when using both Linux client and server and you can set up key authentication. I guess you are using the Nautilus files app with Ubuntu, so you can then drag and pin folders to the list of folders (under Documents, Music etc) on the left.
