5.2 Accessing Network Shares
Networking workstations can be set up to share folders. Typically, files and folders are
marked to let remote users access them. These are called network shares. If your system
is configured to access network shares, you can use your file manager to access these
shares and browse them just as easily as if they were located on your local machine.
Whether you have only read access or also write access to the shared folders depends
on the permissions granted to you by the owner of the shares.
To access network shares, or open Dolphin and enter
remote:/
in the location bar.
Dolphin then opens a virtual folder that displays the network share types that you can
access. Click a network resource type then click the network share to access. You might
be required to authenticate to the resource by providing a username and password.

5.3 Sharing Folders in Mixed
Environments
Sharing and exchanging documents is a must-have in corporate environments. Dolphin
offers you file sharing with Samba, which makes your files and folders available to
both Linux and Windows users. For information on how to install and configure Samba,
