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.

    Just Mount it normally

    sudo apt-get install nfs-common
sudo mkdir /nfs
sudo mount -o rw,soft,intr,nfsvers=3 192.168.0.2:/mnt/Public /nfs

      Thanks for your help! I have to try this at home later today.

      Do I have to do this if my network shares are already mounted on the file manager? For example I use Nemo and my NAS is shown on the left side and I felt like my files were already mounted on the system (there’s a "eject icon next to the name of the share).

          Hi again!  Your command worked very well. Thank you kindly! The share is indeed available on the mount path. Experiences with the audio taggers is very uneven though:

          • puddletag doesn’t see the /nfs mount
          • Ntag doesn’t see the /nfs mount either
          • Ex Falso does manage to see the /nfs mount and I could successfully edit some tags, great!
          • Tagger does also manage to see the mount and edits can be made

          I cannot so far use everything but having two options is more than enough. Thanks for your help!

          NFS is indeed enabled on my NAS, I’ll check this later today and report back, thanks for your help
