Hi all,

I recently decided to make the switch from Windows to Ubuntu (Pop_OS) and I'm struggling to setup my NAS on my new OS.

I can mount my folders without issues and access them on different file managers (Nemo, Dolphin), but I'm having issues accessing them from my installed applications.

For example if I want to modify tags for my audio files (which takes 80% on my Synology drives) I cannot find them in the application(s).

I can't right click on the files and use 'open with' and I cannot drag n' drop the files to the tag editor, so I try to find the with the applications:

Ex Falso: no network share is available on the sidebar / navigation bar, nothing in 'other locations'
Puddletag: same
NTag : same

How are we supposed to make this work? I just want to be able to access my files without having to download them on my local disk and send them back to my Synology every time I want to do this.

Thank you for your feedback, I'll have to check on the machine later today. So far, I thought that the share had to be mounted once (on Nemo file manager for instance) so I could find it on the applications. If so, I did it already and it's not showing anywhere else on the software I mentioned.

By the way if you have a suggestion of an application that works for you on this kind of setup I'd be glad to try.

I use Lidarr on one of my servers to automate downloads/tagging/placement of music on my NAS, so I don't honestly know. Sorry! 😔

No worries, using your tip and others' comments I could setup the whole thing. Cheers!
