I’m looking for a way in Plasma to backup and sync my data from PC to a LAN Samba share on my NAS, using a GUI program.

The many sync apps (Grsync, Unison, Lucky, RealTime, Kup etc.) I’ve tried over many years, don’t let me set a remote/samba target. Most navigate locally only. I would mount the share, but nobody I’ve found knows of a GUI way to permanently mount it.

Everything else I need on Plasma has a GUI solution. Just a sync fails. I’d be grateful to hear of a GUI solution

Can you install Syncthing on your NAS? I've been using it with my Synology NAS to sync my music from my PC.

I set my PC to be read only for the share, so that nothing else on my network can accidentally overwrite anything.

Thanks but no. It's an off the shelf NAS disk (WD My-Cloud 4TB) with setup access via a web page. Technically it might be possible, requiring an IT hack. But I'm looking for a user-centric way.

That's a shame, it would have made things easier
