Hi kevin.huet,
I understand that you would like to use your Firefox OS device to access files in a local network such as Samba or NFS.
Unfortunately, this feature is not yet available natively for Firefox OS. I also looked in the Firefox Marketplace, and I was not able to find any application that offers these features.
As a workaround, it may be possible to access the files directly through the browser in your Firefox OS device. I found an article that explains how to Access Network File Shares in a Chromebook laptop, but I assume that these same instructions should be valid for Firefox OS access.
Please find the instructions below:
I hope you find this information useful. Please let us know if your problem is resolved, and if you have any other questions about the usage of your Firefox OS device.
Thanks,

Hi. Thansk for the answer but this workaround is not suitable for my use.
As firefox OS is based on linux, is it too complex or forbidden to mount the network drive then access it with a file browser ?
Hi kevin.huet,
Firefox OS is based on Open Web technologies (HTML5, CSS, Javascript) with a kernel based on Android.
There may be ways to mount a network drive by using ADB (Android Debugging Bridge) tools to configure the kernel and file systems, but I don't know how this could be done.
I hope these links may help you:
Please let us know if you find a solution, so that other users and contributors may also benefit from your reply. =)
