Moving Storage to a Network Drive

[webtarget]

I have a network drive I'd like to store my files to but, I can't seem to select any network drives (which is accessed via samba). Is there a way to do this?

I can't seem to move storage to a network drive either, although when I want to add a torrent file, it does allow access to my network drive. Is this the way it is or could something be wrong with my setup.

I'm using Linux Mint 13 and Deluge 1.3.5 installed via Software Manager.

Thanks.

There can be issues when using network drives for torrent data storage so you must ensure that it is mounted before Deluge tries to access it.

The simple way to find your network drives is if you have mounted the drive in Gnome then you can access it through the path '~/.gvfs/'. Following on from that you would look at using one of automounting upon boot options on AskUbuntu, probably using fstab to create a new mount point would be easiest.

I think there was a good reason we disabled direct network drive access with move storage but cannot remember currently.

Neat, thanks! Learned something new, not just about moving my files to the network drive in Deluge but I think this solves a lot of issues I've had with other apps and connecting to my network drive.
