gio mounted smb does not show up in /run/user/$UID/gvfs/

Question

I do mount a SMB share like this:

gio mount smb://192.168.1.20/security

(and it works in nautilus) now, for a script to access it, I'd expect to see the mounted share in /run/user/$UID/gvfs/ however, my gvfs directory is empty.

additional info:

$ gio info smb://192.168.1.20/security

• How can I access the files from a script, and why is it not in gvfs?
• This worked at least with Ubuntu 24.04 and 24.10 (now on 25.04)
