Bug Description
Ubuntu Touch really should have the ability to access network filesystems. There's a bunch of different protocols you might want of course, but SMB is the obvious one. Typically this would be done within the File Manager, but a separate application would make sense - if the core system is extended to support that.
My particular case: I have a Seagate Wireless Plus so that I can carry a full-size hard drive around with all my data, one less reason to lug around my laptop. In practice though, it turns out there's no way to actually access it from Ubuntu Touch. iOS and Android are fine because Seagate develops specific apps for those platforms. See Bug #1521827.
