Ah, I think it spawns xterm by default, which looks bad. And it has smb, does not have it for you?
(It's option 44 for me)

There is a button in the gui to add a remote which opens a terminal which asks you for stuff

@ian
I still don't get how this is a plasma issue. It's more of a "linux mindset" issue.

@ian
Yes, but doing it in terminal doesn't require any obscure commands, it will guide you through and ask questions for everything

@ian
For rclone I use this: https://kapitainsky.github.io/RcloneBrowser/

As for freefilesync, I mixed it up with something, sorry. You are right, it doesn't support smb sadly

@ian

There is always some process mounting the shares, be it graphical or not, even on windows

> And no I don’t really want to mount the share at all.

Ah, yes, then you can try freefilesync, it supports a bunch of clouds and ftp, smb, etc
There is also rclone

@ian
You only do it 1 time, then you can access it via dolphin.
Also, do you really need it mounted? You can always access your share in dolphin directly via network -> smb shares.
Another option is to add smb4k to autostart.
And to conclude, I don't think any de specifically allows you to to that, so that's not a kdes' fault

@ian @leopold
I believe you can add a mount in fstab with the nofail flag, so the pc still boots even if the share is not accessible

//192.168.0.5/storage /mnt/data cifs guest,uid=myuser,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,noperm,nofail 0 0

If it helps, I made a similar thing, but for my rgb keyboard :ablobowo:
