I made a fresh install of ubuntu 20.04 and I have a problem accessing my NAS files. Everything works fine in other ubuntu 18.04 machine and no changes were made in NAS.

In ubuntu 20.04 I can browse network, I can login in NAS, and I can open files directly in any aplication. If I open a file (directly in NAS) in inkscape (for exemple), I can edit the file and save it back to its original location in NAS.

But, if I open inkscape and make a new file, I cant save it in NAS with error: "impossible to show content" "operation not supported"

If I try to save a photo from web browser directly to NAS, I cant even "see" NAS.

Maybe it's just a small adjust in some configuration, but I simple cant discover where.

Thank you very much for your help

EDITED: I mount NAS in Files (Nautilus). I can browse and open files in Nautilus with no problem. I open Nautilus, click in "other locations" and then put smb://servername/ then I'm able to browse content in a regular window.

EDIT 2: I'm able to save directly on NAS with "glabels" application. With web browser, inkscape, etc, I cant. It's possible to give access to these applications as well?

EDIT 3: thanks to all. The thing is, in ubuntu 18.04 everything works smooth and in 20.04 things looks harder for newbies... I bealive it's a permissions "thing"... also I have other problem: in inkscape, I cant use a extension (send to silhouette) because os error "no backend available". the extension that is normaly in /usr/share/inkscape/, is now in /snap/inkscape/8049/share/inkscape/extensions and I'm not allowed to add it in this directory. placed it in ~/.config/inkscape/extensions and it is in menu now, but dont work...

EDIT 4: Found the problem, but cant resolve it. The problem is that EVERY application installed by snap store as no permissions to access NAS. So, my question is: is there a way to solve it? May I simple uninstall snap?

FINAL NOTE: Simple dont install applications from snap store if you want to access NAS files directly or want to add extensions or extra scripts to applications.

I found the problem and a possible solution.

That worked for me.

In ubuntu software you are able to choose the source that you want to install.
