Unable to save docs to the SMB network drive from OnlyOffice

I’m trying to save a file onto one of my network drives on RPi (running SMB) from OnlyOffice, but I cannot find any path to the network drive on the Save screen of OnlyOffice. Is there a solution for this?

Usually it comes down to force the app to use the native plasma file picker, which offers all this integration/abstraction.

I don’t use OnlyOffice, but after a quick 5 second search maybe give this a try: https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/DesktopEditors/issues/712#issuecomment-2913161988

If those SMB shares are mounted to a local path, you should be able to access it as you normally would.

For example, you might create a directory under home (tech?) called PiShare and mount the SMB shares in there. Then the applications native file browser should be able to access it.

Not with Plasma, they just had to invent their own wheel with that KIO beeeeeeeeep.

The system comes with kio-fuse pre-installed, wondering why that doesn’t solve this problem?

Because it gets triggered only if a non-KIO application is invoked from a KIO one to handle a file. For example, if you open a folder in Dolphin via “smb://” and double-click on some file.
Of course, KIO was there long before FUSE, but still, not migrating to FUSE once that became stable is IMO at least debatable [expletives self-censored].

Do I need to add a space before appending “–xdg-desktop-portal=default”? Canyou double check the whole command below? Thanks a lot!

run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=desktopeditors --file-forwarding org.onlyoffice.desktopeditors @@u %U @@–xdg-desktop-portal=default

You’ve got double dashes for every command except xdg-desktop. Sometimes auto-corrects can put (2) single dashes as one long one.

What should I do? remove all the double dashes? or keep some and remove some? Thanks a lot!

Usually shorter commands use a single dash, while longer ones (those that are more descriptive) use double dashes. Definitely use doubles dashes on these.
