Mount datastore
Test the connection first. SMB checks the remote share over the network. NFS checks the local path where the export is already mounted on this server.
After a successful SMB test, an empty folder {share}_xxxx is created here automatically. Run mount.cifsonto that path (or copy data in). This path is what the viewer reads.
Browse Remote Storage
How it works: Enter the SMB server and credentials, click Show Available Shares, then select a share and click Connect & Set Path.
The viewer creates a local slot directory under AUTO_MOUNT_SLOT_BASE and saves it as the datastore.
You then need to mount the share onto that slot manually (e.g. mount.cifs).
Example: server fileserver.company.com, share Mailboxes

How it works: Enter the NFS server address and click List Exports.
Select an export, then click Connect & Set Path — the viewer creates a local mount-point
and saves it as the datastore. You then need to mount the NFS export onto that path:
sudo mount -t nfs <server>:</export> <local_path> Requirements on this server:showmount must be installed (sudo apt install nfs-common).
Ports 111 (portmapper) and 2049 (NFS) must be reachable from here.
