I better stick to my good old Windows.


What King1 mentioned about Ubuntu sharing -- The way its advised, every time never worked, the options were simply not there. 

But sharing a folder(s) on Tuxedo, while not 100% the same as windows is very close. 
l see some of the things you need to do https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTbRTKkHxyk

ok so let me clarify 'working fine' - might have been a tad overly generous with that

Needed to install from the command line...
 - sudo apt install samba
 - sudo apt install wsdd2
 - sudo apt install cifs-utils 
 - sudo apt install avahi-daemon

That then allowed me to use the 'Enter Server Address' field in the "other locations" view
  - smb://nas/media/ (in fstab, setting autoconnect on startup, needed to use //nas.local/share )

Enter the user name and password for the server as required and files appear...

What you don't get is a nice network neighbourhood type view like you do in Windows. To have them re-established on startup, they need to be setup in config files

Observe the wonders of Ubuntu accessing a Windows network share...
complete with naggy daily updates and an appcrash thrown in for good measure

   
This world would be a perfect place if it wasn't for the people.
