I found a solution using symbolic links: mkdir $HOME/NetworkFS ln -s $HOME/.gvfs $HOME/NetworkFS Then you can use $HOME/NetworkFS to access your network place.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 697440] Re: Can't save files over the network using applications that don't use GVFS
I see this bug is marked as Wishlist. Judging this from an enterprise point of view (or corporate environment, like Alexandr wrote): This wishlist item stops us from deploying Ubuntu/Gnome/Unity on our desktops on a larger scale at the moment. We deployed some desktops with Ubuntu 11.10 and the two main applications used on the client side are Firefox and Libreoffice. We have a Samba setup where most of the user files (documents etc.) are saved on a Samba share (which is visible to Nautilus through GVFS). Not having an easy way for the user to download a file from Firefox to their share directly or upload it from the share to some intranet side breaks the workflow of most users. I tried to circumvent the problem by using symbolic links to the ~/.gvfs directory but this disturbs many users because in Nautilus they can access the share through Network or Bookmarks. Is there perhaps an easier and more user-friendly work-around for this bug? Otherwise I wish the status of this bug would get more attention. Funny thing is, on Windows I can tell the users to just use drive M: for their own files. Althoug I hate drive letters, I have yet to find such an easy way to teach users with Gnome ;-) (BTW, Libreoffice also had problems with GVFS but I can't find a bug number at the moment.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to brasero in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/697440 Title: Can't save files over the network using applications that don't use GVFS Status in “audacity” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “brasero” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “gtk-recordmydesktop” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “pitivi” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “shutter” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “sound-recorder” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “vlc” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: firefox Firefox and Thunderbird along with lots other programs can't save files over the network because the save dialog doesn't show the network shares as they are in Places if you have a samba share mounted.
