NAS are becoming a popular add-on to people networks, used for every purpose
from backing up data to let it be available to multiple PCs on the same (W)LAN.
Usually network attached drives are available through a Samba share and the
only way to browse them in Ubuntu is going through the Network window.
This makes no easy task to save files on daily basis since there's no easy way
to browse the drive from many windows (i.e. save or open windows) except going
inside .gvfs folder which is not user friendly. Also, these drives will not be
mounted on boot, so in order to use them users must go through the Network
window every time (or edit by themselves fstab).
Every time a user browse a Samba share it should be prompted with the
option to save them with a panel inside the Nautilus window (like it
happens when Ubuntu recognize a Camera when it's browsed with Nautilus)
in order to make that samba share automount on every boot.
