No context menu for files and folders in Nautilus (Gnome) #2

Hi! Thanks for your flatpak package. It's very usefull while Synology stopped supporting rpm packages for linux.

Here's one main issue in flatpak that bother: no context menu for files and folders in Nautilus (Gnome). Is there any way to make SynologyDrive preferences work with linux DE? Maybe there can be some flatpak app prefs?

Yeah, that would be nice. Here on Fedora 35 is see no overlay icons either

The nautilus extension is located in usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-3.0/libnautilus-drive-extension.so after extracting the deb package. I tried to copy the extension to /usr/lib64/nautilus/extensions-3.0/ where nautilus plugins reside on Fedora, but to no avail. This method works on Fedora as discussed in https://community.synology.com/enu/forum/1/post/121686?page=4&reply=469197 Packaging nautilus extension as Flatpak is probably possible only for Flatpak packaged nautilus / gnome-files. It would be nice to keep the libnautilus-drive-extension.so in the Flatpak and figure out a way to enable it in specific distros by copying / linking it somewhere manually.

It seems like this is not possible at the moment (see this Flatpak issue). I guess we keep this open for now, as manually copying is a workaround until there is a solution for this.

The extension actually causes crashes, so it's not worth of it, see https://github.com/EmixamPP/synology-drive/issues/5#issuecomment-2044162373
