Problem
Ubuntu doesn’t has build-in tool for browsing or accessing the Windows share in network. Is there any ways to access the Windows share in Ubuntu?
Solution
Ubuntu has smb installed by default, you can use smb to access the Windows shares.
1. File Browser
Open “Computer – File Browser”, Click on “Go” –> “Location…”
2. SMB command
Type smb://server/share-folder
For example
smb://10.0.0.6/movies
3. Done
You should be able to access the Windows share now.

To be more accurate, in ubuntu you open File Browser, and at the bottom, There will be COnnect to Server, enter the smb:// there

It does not accept the username and/or password.
