If you have a storage location on a network drive, you can easily map the location using Files in Pop!_OS.
Open Files and click on "Other Locations" on the left side overview. It should open a window similar to the one below:
Enter the address of the server into the box which says "Enter server address..." with one of the following prefixes appended to the beginning of the address.
| Available Protocols | Prefix |
|---|---|
| AppleTalk | afp:// |
| File Transfer Protocol | ftp:// or ftps:// |
| Network File System | nfs:// |
| Samba | smb:// |
| SSH File Transfter Protocol | sftp:// or ssh:// |
| WebDAV | dav:// or davs:// |
