Feature description

As a user, I would like to be able to access network attached storage (e.g. ftp, smb, webdav, etc...) from within the file manager as if it were a local drive like internal storage or a microSD, without having to agree to a privacy policy to do so.

Why do you want this feature?

Every other operating system (including iOS's files app on iOS >=13) provides a way to connect to network drives within the file manager, but the Fossify files app does not.

Additional information

With Google's their Android Samba Client, you could add in smb support to connect to network drives on Android File Manager, and now Google Files. Hopefully this implementation can be a useful reference point.
