How do I add network source using Ubuntu? - denzo - 2014-09-22

I just started fooling around with Ubuntu and I can't for the life of me figure out how to add a network source ...I seems the only places I can navigate to from the add source dialog box is either the root directory or my user directory....how do I get to my network?
TIA.

Assuming its an SMB share, if you mount it in nautilus by using 'Browse Network' you can find the path to add to TMM in /var/run/user/1000/gvfs/some-directory-name-that-points-to-your-source

better is to mount the share via kernel than gvfs (gvfs is not good working (slow) and causing some connection stalls, whereas mounting via /etc/fstab is stable and much faster).
If you like, I can post you an example entry for /etc/fstab this evening (user mountable and no auto)

I've mounted my NAS the following way:
