Is it possible to access network drives yet? If not, is this something that's being worked on? Thanks!

Access network drives?

Via SSH? Sure.

Via Samba? Yep: https://www.samba.org/~garming/

If you mean MOUNT network drives, then, not yet, alas. But yes we're keen to build that support when we can.

I think they mean network drives mounted or accessed in Windows. For example, from WSL I can't access files on my network share (in windows it's \\pc-name\\shared, where pc-name is running Samba under Linux). Mapping a drive letter to it doesn't work either - the only thing that shows up in /mnt is c. This is quite a pain.
Yep - that was the mount thing I mentioned in my prev' reply: We've not yet got around to mount support, but it is on our backlog and we're keen to get to it when priorities allow ;)
