            Bug ID: 429044
           Summary: Dolphin uses the entire path url as a label when
                    mounting a samba share via the terminal.
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 20.08.3
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: panels: places

SUMMARY
I use the mount utility to manually mount some samba drives I occasional need
to access. The command goes like this.
sudo mount -t cifs -o username=user,uid=u,gid=g,etc,etc samba_share mount_point

This successfully mounts the samba share locally so that non kde apps who can't
or don't use kio can access those files. The problem occurs when I open dolphin
to see the mounted samba share. It correctly shows that it has been mounted in
the network section since it is a network drive. However instead of using the
mount_point name which is usually the name of the folder it is being mapped to.
It instead uses the full url path of the mount_point folder instead. For
example instead of showing Data in the network section it instead shows
/home/user/some_path/Data. This makes it impossible to know which remote folder
I am accessing especially when I have more than one. I decided to download
thunar and nemo to see if they also showed mounted samba shares like this
because honestly I don't have much experience with mounting network drives
anyways. However, both of these applications show the mount_point folder albeit
lowercased. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Mount remote samba share
2. Open dolphin
3. Look in Network Section

OBSERVED RESULT
See full path url depending on where you mounted the drive.

EXPECTED RESULT
To only see the folder that the remote drive is being mapped to aka the
mount_point folder. The same way dolphin shows manually mounted usb devices.
