From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

First Linux (Ubuntu). Question on mapping drive letters (lemmy.ca)

I need to map network shares from my Synology NAS and also from a Win11 Pro desktop. There are just so many variations on how to do this. All I need to do is map drive letters to shares on startup so they are always available.

Sorry for the noob question.

I'm honestly confused as to why everyone here is avoiding actually answering your question. Anyway, for most modern file browsers in Linux:

Type into the address bar: smb://ip-address-or-domain/share-name
It should ask for login credentials. Enter your login for the server you're accessing. Click "remember forever" or something like that.
Once you're in, right-click the share in the navigation pane to the left and click "create bookmark" or something like that. When doing so, there may also be a checkbox to make it persistent - if so, check it.

So easy once you know how. Thanks!
