    Mine is set up that way, but the issue is when I go to click the folder that we added to places, on next boot, it will ask for my password to mount it.

    I use the NAS for storage and backups, while running a program on the desktop that will also upload those files to the cloud. The program isn’t able to see the path on boot, because the NAS isn’t mounted on login.

    It’s doable I’m sure, but if it is editing some config file somewhere or with some terminal command, I’m going to just shrug and move on because that’s quite silly in my opinion.

    And yes, it is samba, but it’s the only thing I’ve used since it was set like that at default. Why would I look into other ways if it’s working just fine, exactly?

    Nothing other than your own personal preference. Across a wide variety of contexts I personally find less headaches with SFTP, but YMMV. There are security and speed arguments, but IIRC there is a lot of variance to those arguments depending on how modern the SMB implementation is and how it's config'd.

    I have no idea why you can't save your PW, I've done it this way since at least 2013, under several distros, on several different hardware setups, and have never had an issue having dolphin save my PW.

    Are you in the "I disabled the KDE wallet because I wasn't sure how to make it not annoying" crowd? It used to be much harder to work with. (I don't even know if that's the likely reason you have to keep putting your PW in, but I do use KDE wallet, and I never have to put mine in after initial setup in dolphin.)

    I’ve tried searching for an answer before giving up, but they usually include going into the terminal and running commands or editing this file over here in your system settings.

    I may be more comfortable with Linux now, and prefer it, but that’s mainly because of how stable it has been since I’ve tried moving over full time. Well, that and KDE is a damn fine desktop environment!

    I don’t like to run the random commands any more because when I did that as a newbie, it almost always blew up in my face. Granted, I know better now, but that’s mainly really set the precedent for how far I am willing to go to get the OS to do what I’m wanting. I drew that line at command line or system file editing. :/

    Now, I do remember trying to disable KDE wallet on a VM I was running to try it out one time. Yeah, it did mess things up, so I stopped doing that too! Haha! Great memory unlock, thank you! xD
