Uploading or attaching files that located on a shared drive

Mount samba shares in our home directory we may use SMBNetFS. With this tool we are able to access samba shares by nearly all applications simply through a mount point in our home directory.

How to use SMBnetFS

• cp /etc/smbnetfs.conf ~/.smb/smbnetfs.conf copy example configuration file
• cp /etc/samba/smb.conf ~/.smb/smb.conf copy samba configuration
• mkdir ~/sambashare or any other name for the mount point
• smbnetfs ~/sambashare to mount the shares.
• users need to be member of the fuse group

See man smbnetfs for options and go through the FAQ file in /usr/share/doc/smbnetfs for further documentation.
