- HEADLINE: An advanced mode for the file manager
- DESCRIPTION: I find that the default file manager is a bit dumb. There should be a mode to enable advanced features; like 'connect to server' when one can pick sftp. ftp, smb, nfs, vboxsf etc. It's fine if it's hidden in a configuration modal but 'advanced mode' should be an option.

- neverminder 10y agoRelated: at the moment when a folder mounted with s3fs (Amazon S3 file system) is opened it downloads all the contents which doesn't really make any sense.
- jgillich 10y agoNautilus does support that: https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/nautilus-connect.html.en https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/nautilus-conn... I'm not sure what version of Nautilus Ubuntu is on though.

- vetinari 10y agoThere is that already. Click 'Other locations' in the sidebar and at the bottom of the window you have 'Enter server address...' textbox. Put your sftp:// or smb:// url there. Discoverable shares (smb) will be displayed in the window. Vboxsf is not a network redirector as it is in Windows; look for vboxfs mounts in the /media directory.
