I just switched over to Fedora, and I have no idea how to mount my Unraid shares. Windows made it really straightforward, Linux, as usual, is not. How do I add my shares to my Fedora PC?

I don’t see any option to add my credentials:

Double clicking just opens an empty folder

Please give more information about your infrastructure you want to mount to a samba share. There are tags which help you specifier your environment (see edit title).

Legit have no idea what you’re talking about. I just want to mount a network drive. Why does Fedora make it so hard? It should be straightforward

It help us to help you if you provide information like the desktop environment you have installed. It is Gnome or KDE plasma or something else?

@linuxistrash Please open only one topic for your case. Also, you should try to add related tags when you open a topic. That way you maximize the chances that someone with applicable knowledge will find it and help you. Joe has added samba to foster that :classic_smiley:

I have merged the two topics about this case. All posts are now in this one.

Verify if you have the following installed:

sudo dnf install samba-client cifs-utils

Connecting to a Samba Share Using smbclient#

The smbclient utility allows you to interact with a Samba share in a command-line environment. To list the shares available on a Samba server, use the following command:

smbclient -L //server_name -U username

Here, server_name is the name or IP address of the Samba server, and username is the username used to access the share. You will be prompted for the password.

To connect to a specific share, use:

smbclient //server_name/share_name -U username

Please make this test in the terminal and give feedback. Any kind of errors please post as pre formatted text here in the topic.

P.S.
Your Alias (Linux is trash) is quite provocative and I believe that is why nobody answered you in first place.
If we can approach this problem objectively, without questioning the Linux operating system in any way, then everything is fine. Otherwise, I will do everything in my power to end this discussion. ok?
