They are connected automatically, there is nothing you need to do except make sure you enter (or download) prices for the correct stock.

When I go "accounts" and then click on the "edit" button to change the share, one of the thing there is "smallest subdivision" (or what it is called in English, the one where you select "use product value", "1/10", "1/100", "1/1000" etc), what is the best one to select there?

I don’t think the report cares what you select for that option.  It determines the smallest fraction of a share you can record, but dowsn’t affect the price.

So you’re saying that the current value doesn’t equal the number of shares times the price?  Is that correct?  This seems odd.  Perhaps it is a currency exchange rate problem.  You probably said before, but I can’t recall the answer.  Is the currency of the report the same as the currency in the price database for the stocks in question?  The price fields in the report should be links.  If you click on one of them it should open the price DB entry from which the price was taken.  Does this work and if so what do you find?   Is the currency what you expect?  Is it the same as the report’s currency?  Is the price the same as shown in the report?
