File and Folder Sharing with 24.04

[ugnvs]

You do not specify file sharing direction.
If you want to access files stored on your UM system, then I'd strongly second @tkn suggestion.
If you want to access Windows (SMB) shares from your UM system, then everything is in place and works out of the box. Just open Caja, select File > Connect to server... menu entry and specify proper details

Do I get it right that your previous solution no longer works?

Set up network shares in 18.04 using Caja

I want to set up network shares within 18.04 preferably using Caja. I am not interested in WebDAV. Is gvfs-backends still required in 18.04. Any other recommendations before I start setting up? I would like to get it right the first time with 18.04. Reading other posts a lot as seemed to change since 16.04.
