whole Videos folder in Home.
andrej@ThinkPad:~/Videos

There are several folders in Videos that I want to be shared:

andrej@ThinkPad:~/Videos$ ls
Movies new-no subtitles Seen-good Series Shaun - The Sheep Zora.avi

I mounted Videos folder into /export/users so when I go to /export/users I access all folders in Videos folder

So on that basis your /etc/exports should read like this...

Code:
/home/andrej/Videos 192.168.100.0/24(rw,nohide,insecure,no_subtree_check,async)

I copied it to /etc/exports
restarted server and there is no change. I cannot get Pi connect to that server

When I go to file manager and "add source" a browse for NFS and there is nothing. When I manually type server IP address I receive comment that it cannot be connected

I'm desperate here. I do not know why it does not work

Guessing here. Are you using UFW?

What is UFW?

Uncomplicated Firewall, it is installed by default in Ubuntu.

If you are unsure if it is on or not run this command in the terminal...

Code:
sudo ufw status verbose

bingo :-)
I turned it off and it worked.
I love you Speedwell68

If I only know how to keep it active and be able to connect from the pi

I run Xubuntu on my PCs and whilst it is installed by default you have to enable it manually. On full fat Ubuntu it is enabled by default. TBH I don't bother with it as I have an equally good firewall on my router. If you do decide to run it this command 'should' allow NFS over your network...

Code:
sudo ufw allow from 192.168.100.0/24 to any port 2049

Anyway I'm glad it is now working for you. It was just a hunch I had this afternoon.
