[HOW TO] auto mount an SMB network drive

Tutorials & Guides
1

I have a SYNOLOGY NAS drive which has worked very well for my home. Able to setup private home directories and shared. Here is a wonderful video tutorial showing exactly how to do this. Very easy to follow. He has a Synology setup he uses as his example, but it should be straight forward for any smb setup.

This is a YT video AUTO MOUNT SMB.

Did you try this under which version of Zorin OS, 17 or 18? Just asking because there have been a lot of issues with this recently.

I did this on Zorin OS 18. Works like a charm.

as you can see in the fstab the two entries for my NAS drive and the links in FILES for 'home' and 'shared'. These now mount at boot for me when ever I log in.
