There is always some process mounting the shares, be it graphical or not, even on windows

Ah, yes, then you can try freefilesync, it supports a bunch of clouds and ftp, smb, etc
There is also rclone
OK. Thanks. I thought the fstab entry looked a lot less involved, process wise.
Freefile sync Files mode, can't navigate to the LAN and Cloud mode only has SFTP, FTP and Google Drive. I tried anyway and it did not like it. Maybe there is a trick.
Rclone command line tool has a web GUI mode. I'll try that next. Edit: No go. It seems the command line is needed to launch the rclone Web interface.
@ian
For rclone I use this: https://kapitainsky.github.io/RcloneBrowser/
As for freefilesync, I mixed it up with something, sorry. You are right, it doesn't support smb sadly
Yes I tried the RcloneBrowser. But there is no way to create a new Sync in the GUI. Only manage already configured ones. Unless it's well hidden.
@ian
Yes, but doing it in terminal doesn't require any obscure commands, it will guide you through and ask questions for everything
The terminal is obscure in itself. I'm not sure how to start it or what commands to use.
@ian
There is a button in the gui to add a remote which opens a terminal which asks you for stuff
Oh thats what that was. It looked like an error message. So I tried it. Horrible UX, and it did not have samba. I tried a few of the alternatives and it didn't manage to connect.
@ian
Ah, I think it spawns xterm by default, which looks bad. And it has smb, does not have it for you?
(It's option 44 for me)
Thanks I founf CIFS/smb on 35. It connected. Now trying to find out how to use the remote.
