        Within the included file explorer app, there is the option to access network devices. However, I am unsure how to mount an SMB share. When I first installed Ubuntu Touch, I assumed I could use apt to install cifs-utils, and then edit fstab to include the network mounts. Since the file system is read only, I cannot install cifs-utils. I know you can make the system read/write (I read it isn't recommended to do this), but before I do that if this is the only way, is there any other way I can install this so I can mount my network devices?
