How can a regular user connect to and browse network drives within XFCE4? This isn't for me. This is for a laptop I'm configuring for someone who isn't as geeky as I am. I'd like to have something as "easy" as "mount network drive" the way Windows does.

You would use nfs, no?

It's been ages since I touched it. Make entries for the network drive in /etc/fstab.
You have to make settings in other /etc/ files. You have to export prepared nfs folders.

Hit man nfs et al. Once set, mount 'folder in /etc/fstab'
