Ratings and reviews

This is great for a non rooted phone to be able to access samba shares over the network in other applications. The only issue is the fact that the application specifically has to support Android's new secure storage bologna, but that's not actually the apps fault, that's a Google thing.

Pixel5\Andr14. I add an SMB share, "check connection" works, but after save I don't see a way to use the folder. I check "use as local storage" in settings and rebooted, but nothing changes. In Google "Files" app, the CIFS Documents provider appears under "Other storage", but clicking on it just opens the app. I tried some other file managers, no luck either. I only can see the content of the network folder when I click to upload a file in some other app, e.g. in telegram

This isn't exactly working like I need it to. I need to access files on the nas with apps that can only access the phone's storage. The uri the app provides just isn't accessible to these apps and there's no way I can see to change it to mount to another directory in the phone's storage.
