Majaro - Gnome - NAS - mount not possible?

sg76 · December 27, 2024, 2:46pm

Hello,
I am using a current Manjaro with Gnome. I have installed Cryptomator as a flatpak. My vault is not located locally on the hard disk, but centrally on my NAS. The folder is mounted via dav/afp/smb/nfs (I have already tried everything). Access is no problem in Nemo (file manager).
If I now want to add this existing vault on my NAS in Cryptomator, I cannot see any network folder or connect. I only have the option to select a vault locally. What can I do to solve my problem here?

I’m pretty sure you ran into the following issue:

github.com/flathub/org.cryptomator.Cryptomator

Unable to mount from external or network drive

## Description If the vault is not located in the user home directory, it canno…t be chosen in the file picker dialog started by Cryptomator. Additionally, already existing vaults (i.e., added over the appimage) are not found, if not located in the home dir. ## Reason Cryptomator flatpak is restricted to [only access the user home directory](https://github.com/flathub/org.cryptomator.Cryptomator/blob/1ec15d8651ebf9a9dd6ed074c2fd584c903d4fa2/org.cryptomator.Cryptomator.yaml#L12). ## Solution Ensure Cryptomator is not running and then override the option with one of the following: You can give the Cryptomator Flatpak complete access to your host file system, with the following command: ``` sudo flatpak override org.cryptomator.Cryptomator --filesystem=host ``` You can also only state where on the file system Cryptomator Flatpak should have access (e.g. to a specific directoy): ``` sudo flatpak override org.cryptomator.Cryptomator --filesystem=/media/my_thumb_drive ``` You can provide multiple filesystem options, so you could do any number of mount points, for example: ``` sudo flatpak override org.cryptomator.Cryptomator --filesystem=/media/festplatte --filesystem=home ``` If you prefer to use a GUI tool, you can use [Flatseal](https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.github.tchx84.Flatseal) to modify the permission accordingly.

Please note, that Cryptomator does not support network storages which are integrated via the filemanager, because those do not mount the folder into the filesystem. Use davfs2 or similar tools instead.
