Hi all,
This will be old hat for experienced Q4OS users but it came as a revelation to me and may help new adopters. For several months I have used a Roon Rock NUC server to house the Rock OS to sit on top of the Tidal high-res music streaming service and hugely improve the functionality. You need to be able to access the server folders, primarily to add non-Tidal flac files to the internal storage, which can then be adopted and displayed in the Roon system.
The Rock network server was easily found via smb1/CIFS by typing smb//:[IP address]/[folder name] into a Konqueror location bar and so this tip applies to this situation and not to more complex shares needing a user name and password, for which I use smb4k. I did not know how to mount the folder I had created so I made a bookmark in Konqueror and also created a URL link to it on the Trinity desktop.
However, I now know better what I am looking at in the network folders wizard and so recognise the following simple procedure:
1. Open Konqueror > My_Network_Places or Dolphin > Network and double-click the Add a Network Folder wizard.
2. Click Microsoft Windows network drive and Next.
3. Add:
Name: Name of server (ROCK in my case)
Server: IP address of server (192.xxx.x.xx in my case)
Folder: Shared folder (Data in my case)
Click Save & Connect
4. That's it done! You should have your remote server leading to the shared folder neatly and securely mounted in both Konqueror > My_Network_Places and Dolphin > Network (if you have both) and a tidier desktop.
