How do I access a local network share in dolphin?
I decided to switch over to Kubuntu for a while, and I backed up my documents on a NAS connected to my local network. I was able to see it and access it in nautilus, but when I try to access it in dolphin, I see this:
Double-clicking on any of the four options does nothing, as if I didn't double-click. How do I access my files?

I don't know why nobody ever answered to this but if you're using the SMB protocol I've got an easy solution to access your local network shares.
- Right click on the sidebar on Dolphin
- Click on "add entry"
- Give it a name (something like "
SMB Share") - In the "location" input, type in your SMB server location (e.g.:
smb://<ip_address>/folder) - Choose an icon and validate
Now you should see that icon under your personal folder on the left, just click on it and you will access your network share

Usually when I use nautilus, the address starts with afp://

@CurticeGough probably because you're using an Apple device? Did you try using it ? Replace smb:// by afp://

Then it seems like you're using the AppleShare protocol. Can you use another one like SMB ? Idk if I can help you with that. Try with afp://<ip_address> and see if that works

This doesn't work for me. Right-clicking on the Dolphin sidebar gives me "Add Entry", not "Add Element". "Add Entry" seems to have a different purpose.

I don't think you can access it without mounting it, though you might be able to do it by adding an entry to /etc/fstab.If you can get at it, it should be visible under Devices in the left column of the Dolphin screen.
