I have a NAS where I need to backup or preferably sync files to with Plasma (Kubuntu 22.04) , alongside Windows and Android devices in my home.
This does not seem to be possible for non IT experienced users. I have tried to find a solution for many years, several NAS devices, PCs and Kubuntu/Neon versions.
- Dolphin can access the LAN shares OK. ✓
- Windows and Android devices and apps sync to the NAS Shares easily. ✓
- On Plasma most Sync programs have file pickers that cannot navigate to the Network. Just local files. ╳
- KDE programs Digikam, Elisa and Kup can all navigate to the LAN but then fail to access the shares. ╳
- I have not found any way to mount shares in an easy way for non IT experienced users on Plasma. ╳
- Smb4K looked like a solution, but needed to be running the whole time and stopped working. ╳

Backup is important, yet surprisingly still not possible. Is this being fixed? Or should I report a feature request? Or is there a hidden trick that doesn't involve hacking, deep IT knowledge or the command line?

OK. There appears to be no solution. Therefore it needs a fix request. Backing up to a LAN share is a critical function belonging to the basics. I'll post details as soon as I have anything.
