[GNC] Problem with saving to NAS Drive

[David Carlson]

Too many details are missing.  I know that in Ubuntu 16.04 or 18.04 it is
necessary to use a file manager to mount and sign in to my NAS before I can
open or save a GnuCash data file.

On other OS's details vary.  Any incorrect words were substituted by the
spell checker.
