The issue you are facing:

I would like to have my NC-drive in my file explorer in Ubuntu.

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N): Y

Steps to replicate it:

  1. Open File Explorer in Ubuntu and enter smb://my_username@10.0.0.211:450
  2. It asks for Domain and password. No idea about domain, so letting WORKGROUP stay
  3. Gets error: Failed to retrieve share list from server: Software caused connection abort

The output of your Nextcloud log in Admin > Logging:

Failed to retrieve share list from server: Software caused connection abort

[no app in context] Warning: Login failed: web@hidden.dom (Remote IP: 10.0.0.1)

POST /login

SMB protocol is not supported by Nextcloud. You can just connect via webdav:

Yep you’re right. I found it now. Thanks.

Also you can use the Linux Nextcloud client. Maybe better as the standard WebDAV client.

Can it be set to not sync all files down to my PC?
But only the ones I pick…

Yes, after setup you can either say sync everything or then pick on a folder-basis. Once you have installed, you can edit the list of folders what to sync. If you unselect folders, they will be deleted. Be careful, when there are folders where not all changes have been synced, these changes can be lost.
