   Thunar has a "Network" tab that seems to work fine:   
      
      https://ibb.co/r2ZvyfMw   
      
   It shows two entries for "DT", my Synology Diskstation.  The   
   first is the SMB share, because when I double-click on it   
   the authentication dialog includes a "Domain" of "WORKGROUP".   
      
   The second is either NFS or AFP, I can't tell.  (The   
   "mount" isn't a system mount -- it uses gvfsd.)
