Steps to reproduce the bug

as said in the title, assume that the structure looks like:

mynas
├── a/
│   ├── a1/
│   └── a.file
├── b/
└── c/
    └── c.file

I can't add mynas as the share folder. I have to add a, b then c separately.

Expected behavior

I hope I can just add mynas.

This is a problem with the SMB library I'm using, SMB4J. It simply doesn't have the capability to read the root folder like a directory, the "root" is considered at the base folder of each share. However, it would be possible to simulate a NAS root folder by reading all of the shares available, then a virtual "folder" could be shown to the user with all of the shares shown as subdirectories. This is basically how it looks on Windows when you access an SMB server, so it would be user friendly/intuitive to add this.

So I will probably implement this, but technically it's more of an enhancement than a bug since this is intended behavior of SMB4J.

Got, totally understandable.
Actually, that's not a big deal. You know, it's just a little messy. Because I have two sources and around 14 folders in total.

Thanks anyway!!!
