I don't know that this is a Unity question, as I've found this a pain
in the last half-dozen releases of Ubuntu, and in Mint et al... but...

In Unity, I open the home folder, click "file | connect to server",
then enter my authentication details. Once done, and the share (or
whatever sub-folder I want to have quick access to) is shown, I press
"crtl-d" to bookmark it, and then next time I can skip the whole
"connect to server" stage and go straight to it in my bookmarks.
Kindof like a much more sensible "map network drive" approach.
