How do I download directly from a browser to an Unraid network shared drive in Fedora?

I am coming from Windows, and I am used to using Jdownloader to manage browser downloads. In the Windows version of Jdownloader, I was able to select my network drives from the dropdown menu. In Fedora, I don’t see such option:

I’ve tried both the flatpak and snap versions of JDownloader. How do I add my network drives to JDownloader? Is there a different app I can use to download directly from my browser to my Unraid network shared drives?

And no. I’m not going to download to my PC and then move the files to the network drive afterwards. Jdownloader (or similar program) should work the same as it did in Windows.

In Firefox you can set the download folder to any folder you wish as the default.
You can also ask it to ask you where you wish to save the download each time.

These options are in Settings General under Files and Applications.
If you search from “Downloads” in settings it should list all these options quickly.

This doesn’t work. I can’t select my network shared drives as the default. I click on a drive in the left panel, but nothing loads:
