I am using a NAS server to keep all my music, pictures and video on, and would like to have them as easily accessible in Nautilus as possible.



So naturally, I edited the 'Music', 'Video' and 'Pictures' links on the left on Nautilus under 'computer' to my custom locations on the network. This worked fine until I restarted Ubuntu, when I noticed all the links had disappeared. I assume this is because the locations aren't local, and don't fit the 'computer' criteria.



So I tried adding them via Ctrl+D (add bookmark), and all this did was create a link to the root of the network drive under bookmarks, not helpful.



So, is there any way I can add links to these folders to the left side of Nautilus?



To mount the NAS, I edited fstab with the following using cifs



//NAS IP /home/henry/henrydocs cifs uid=henry,username=henry,password=x 0 0

The links you see under Computer are created automatically by reading the file ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs



enter image description here



Edit that file to point to the right need path and the link changes will survive the reboot.
