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.

    You’re absolutely right! I’m not super tech-savvy and I was convinced that those file sharing protocols were more or less equivalent (I only tried to compare in terms of speed). I never payed much attention to it because my other computers were doing fine with one or the other.
