I was overthinking it bit too much. I simply have to enable sharing

I’ll have a look at this, updated OP for now

updated OP

Oh wow, I just kept thinking renderer somehow opens ports for accepting streams. Let me revisit it then.

just tried Dolphin (KDE file manager) - same experience. Going to experiment with autofs next

Not really tied to gnome, it’s just something I’m using. Would KDE work better ?

Thanks will have a look at autofs
