Remote Access of files

Post by mpparent »

Can FreeOffice access remote files, e.g. a local network server or cloud account? I am not able to figure out how to set up a quick path to make this work.

Thank you,
Mike

Thanks for your post. Please configure your local network storage/cloud storage on operating system level. When you will be able to browse these paths in your file manager, FreeOffice will also able to handle them through it.

Was able to link my cloud accounts, but I am not able to link my local network. My file manager recognizes the remote system, so I am not sure why FreeOffice doesn't see the directory structure.

I have tried to use "quick path" to map to my network drive. I have used both paths in the form of smb://{server name}/USER to ftp://{IP ADDRESS}/USER. Neither works. As I mentioned previously, I already have mapped my drives through Dolphin (my file manager) and can access the network with no issues.

Please install gvfs and then mount your network drives using it.
