Hello community, I use the latest donation version of Freefilesync.

I want to synchronize folders on my Linux Mint PC with the USB hard drive connected to my Fritzbox 7530.
In my file explorer I have access via smb. But I don't know how to enter smb in freefilesync.

Thanks for your help!

Ah yes, Nemo (default file manager on Cinnamon, the default desktop environment for Linux Mint) has special functionality that lets you connect to SMB shares in the file manager. For other applications, you should bother to mount an SMB share the "proper" way so the filesystems are available for everything.

Please see my post elsewhere on this forum, and the following conversation.

Use install command sudo apt-get install cifs-common instead of dnf install cifs-utils.
