Hello everybody.
I'm using Mint 18.3 Cinnamon with all latest updates.
There is an annoying issue:
[*]Open smb share in file manager - "link" will be created on desktop and in nav tree
[*]Now start browser
[*]Navigate to "search by image" or any other file opload dialog
[*]There is no way to select file from share! No "link", no option to select network location.
Workaround - copy from share to desktop, upload in browser. It's very annoying in everday work.
How can i enable upload to browser from share?
Cannot upload files to browser from SMB share

Re: Cannot upload files to browser from SMB share
Open a terminal and run:
When nemo opens up to that location immediately bookmark it: Bookmarks > Add Boorkmark
You will get a bookmark labelled
It will look a little weird ( smb-share:server=server-name,share=share-name ) but it is a legitimate file location.
Code: Select all
nemo /run/user/$UID/gvfs/
You will get a bookmark labelled
gvfs
( you can rename it if you want ) that will show up on the side panel of nemo and the Open or Save dialogue in whatever application you use. Now after you connect to your samba share the mount point will show up under that gvfs Bookmark.It will look a little weird ( smb-share:server=server-name,share=share-name ) but it is a legitimate file location.
