Hi all, TW KDE user here.
I’m having an issue on managing folders mounted with Samba/SMB: some apps don’t recognize them as actual folders but rather as “virtual folders.” As a result, for instance, if I’m downloading a large file with firefox, I can’t save it directly into the Synology NAS folder mounted with samba or, if I download a linux iso with qbittorrent, It creates a folder inside “Downloads” with the same samba pathway but It doesn’t save the file in the right samba volume. Are there better ways to handle this? Maybe NFS?
How did you mount them. I had similar problems and got great advice in her to mount the shared smb folders with either the cifs command in a script or as mount in the fstab file. Both worked perfect. I also have a Synology NAS.

In my searches I spotted cifs as a possible solution, I’ll try with that. Thanks
I’ve already had cifs-utils installed but probably KDE uses its own KIO system to mount.
I found the thread, you might find some info there as well.
Very thanks, that’s exactly what I was looking for. I would really like to use smb4k too ( Smb4K - KDE Applications ) but it looks like is not present anymore on flathub ? There is also the package on TW repos but It would install dependencies that I feel could break my system.
On my daily pc, I just added an entry in the fstab file, that was the simplest way. On a laptop I use in my garage, I just starting the cifs script manually when I need access to the NAS. Both works very good, and smb folders behaves like local folders. As I see it, no needs for any dedicated applications.
