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.

Mount a network share permanently on Kubuntu. Non IT people need to do backups too. And Plasma apps can't access network shares unless they are mounted.
I think https://apps.kde.org/smb4k/ can do this?
Thanks. I've tried it. But it's not a permanent mount. The program needs to be running all the time. And it frequently times out. A very poor experience. Other OSs do much better.
Have you considered a network file sharing system other than SMB?
As long as it's easy to setup, anything would be good. After many years of asking, nobody has been able to suggest anything.
