    Hmm, mount a network drive, or any drive? On Windows it’s a few clicks in Explorer, but I’m not aware of it being that easy on any distro I used. Always had to go into /etc/fstab manually

      Mounting of USB drive is automatic, SFTP can be done with file browser (bookmarking). Permanent nfs mounting, like you do in fstab I don’t know, maybe in the “drives” program. I would honestly argue that this is not a casual use case, but yes, I get your point. In the end it simply depends on the desktop environment.

      I think the file managers do this for you nowadays, though I generally use ‘cloud’ style file syncing nowadays and so I’ll confess to not having done it lately.
