[Qgis-user] Can I add a shapefile from a network location to QGIS 2.0?

[Carlos Cerdán]

Well... it seems there isn't a way to add a layer from network on Ubuntu.

LibreOffice has issues also to open files from network: you must first to
define a bookmark to network. After that, remote folder can be opened but
through this bookmark, which is recognized by other programs like Inkscape
and Gimp... but not by QGIS :-(.

Maybe this link can help you:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountWindowsSharesPermanently (too
complicated for me), or maybe looking for *ubuntu open file network* on
Goolge. If so, please share your solution.

Good luck

Carlos
