Seems reasonable
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2025-01-27 23:53:50 UTC 
This'll be the "dueling KIO Workers" problem, same as why you can't drag a file out of Ark and onto a Samba share. That one is feasible to fix, but this one is less so, and also more niche. It would have the potential to cause hangs when the Samba share is unavailable, and the Activities code is basically frozen right now anyway. So I'm afraid this is a "no can do, sorry."
