Nautilus is the [[GNOME]] desktop's file manager. When using Nautilus without GNOME, you may need to enable additional services to get familiar functionality.

If GVfs is not available, you may see errors such as "Sorry, could not display all the contents of “trash:///”: Operation not supported" when trying to open the trash folder, or be unable to access network filesystems.

When using X11, this is probably sufficient (though, see the general notes on [[GNOME#Running_GNOME_programs_outside_of_GNOME|running GNOME programs outside of GNOME]]). On Wayland, more effort may be required: [https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/128026].

=== Mount external drives in sidebar ===

In a window manager such as [[Sway]] it may be necessary to enable [https://github.com/coldfix/udiskie udiskie] to auto-mount USB devices. See [[USB storage devices]] for more configuration details.

{{File|3=services.udisks2.enable = true;|name=/etc/nixos/configuration.nix|lang=nix}}

And in Home Manager:

{{File|3=services.udiskie = {

enable = true;

};|name=/etc/nixos/home.nix|lang=nix}}
