Another Ubuntu 20.04 / Samba Question
Over this last weekend I upgraded from Ubuntu 18.04LTS to 20.04LTS. I'm still working out the kinks, but the biggest issue I'm trying to resolve is access 3 of my NAS devices. These are older D-Link DNS-321 and -323, so they don't support the newer flavors of SMB.
I added the client min protocol = NT1 entry to smb.conf, but I still can't add the shares via Files. When trying to connect to smb:// I get an error message of: "Unable to access location - Failed to mount Windows share: Software caused connection abort."
However, when I use smbclient // -U user I can log in and dir the contents. So I am flummoxed as to why Files won't mount the share, but smbclient is very happy.
Based on the results from smbclient, I think I have smb.conf and Samba in general set up correctly, I just can't figure out why those settings aren't being passed on to Nautilus / Files.

I use the following solution to access my Synology NAS in Ubuntu 20.04.1
This also works perfectly well in 18.04.5 on a different PC.
First I did sudo apt-get install cifs-utils and then created the mount point (which I think you have done).
My fstab entry is:
// /mount-point/share-name cifs username=foo,password=foo,rw,uid=1000,gid=500 and the drive mounts perfectly each time.
The OP mentions that he added ver=1.0 to the fsab entry (but mine works without).
