How to add a network drive?

Solution 1:

You were almost there with your example ('I did: smb:\IP Address'), but looks like you've got the address wrong, it's got to be in URI format like a web address.

Either go by Clive's example or try these:

  • Open up Nautilus/File Manager
  • Hit Control + L (to bring up location bar)
  • Type smb://(ip_address)/(share) (though, it'll work without the share name)
  • or;
  • Click on Browse Network in the sidebar
