Link to a file on my NAS

Features

Hello everyone,

It would be great to be able to insert in a note a link to a file on a NAS (shared with SMB) that would be usable from any system, which means would not mention any mount point or drive (which is system-specific).

Today my links that work on Windows won't work on Linux and vice-versa, whereas the file is the same !

Thanks

Try using an "smb" link in the format:

[My NAS File](smb://user@server/share/file_name.pdf)

I have never used this before but I just tried it with Joplin on a Linux system authorised to access the share and it opened the file. I am not able to try Windows.

Hi,

I overcame this very same problem by using an app called rclone to mount shares. You can mount a folder by a specific name on Windows Linux and Mac. If you use this method the link is the same on each of the three platforms.
