From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

So easy once you know how. Thanks!
I use sftp://files.lan with my Synology rather than SMB as its usually easier when using both Linux client and server and you can set up key authentication. I guess you are using the Nautilus files app with Ubuntu, so you can then drag and pin folders to the list of folders (under Documents, Music etc) on the left.
