"Other locations" just doesn't work at all. I'm using scp now.

Another issue is that I don't see my android phone in Nautilus, when it's connected to my computer. I should see it as a flash drive. This works fine on 16.04.

I have upgraded my laptop to 17.04 and I still see the bug: "connect to server" doesn't work, "other locations" hangs. No way to copy files to/from other computers in my network. Desktop computer and other laptop run older versions of Ubuntu, no issues with connecting to other computers.
