Ubuntu – Network button missing gone from Nautilus

nautilussamba

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS.

I remember having a link in Nautilus that I used to browse network shares with in the past. I don't remember exactly but I think it was "Windows network" or "Browse network".

Now I can't find this on my current installation, there's only "Connect to server", but this is not what I want. Is there a way to put that link there?

On my 16.04 Network is between Trash and Computer in the left. It has Windows Network inside.

If it really missed - you can reinstall gvfs-backends with

sudo apt-get install --reinstall gvfs-backends

Installing gvfs-backends should allow Nautilus to use most common protocols (including SMB, SSH, etc.).

sudo apt-get install gvfs-backends

Ubuntu – Nautilus won’t copy files from mounted samba shares

I'd try to add the _netdev mount option ie:_netdev,credentials=.....
Another idea -that is probably not related- is adding uid and gid options uid=1000,gid=1000,_netdev,credentials=....There is the option vers for smb version too

vers=1.0,credentials=....

The Linux cifs kernel client has been included in the kernel since kernel version 2.5.42. For improved security and performance, SMB3 is the now the default dialect (SMB3.02/SMB3/SMB2.1 dialects are requested by default). CIFS protocol (and other old dialects) can be selected (by specifying "vers=1.0" or "vers=2.02" in the mount options for example). The newest, most secure dialect, SMB3.11 can also be requested (vers=3.1.1).
