However, many, including Konsole and many GTK apps, do not support KIO and therefore are not able to access files on these shares, requiring them to be copied to the local disk manually (and back to the server if they were edited). Mounting network shares like external hard drives would make them accessible to every application and thus enhancing the user experience significantly. EXPECTED RESULT When accessing a network share via Dolphin, there is an option to mount it. If the user chooses that option, it is mounted like any hard drive (in /run/media/$USER/) and appears in the Dolphin side bar, from where it can also be unmounted. Not necessary but useful options: * A checkbox for auto mounting when the server is available * Automatically unmount after a certain time, when the system is suspended or the like to prevent accidentally disconnecting while it is still in use 1825074 1 nate 2018-12-07 23:06:54 +0000 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 75324 ***
