[SOLVED] Network shares not shown in File Explorers

Hi.

I absolutely love Arch and I am big fan because it forces me to learn...
Time to start noob linux questions , I am sorry...

So....

In any GUI file manager I am not able to see most of my network shares... Till this point I was mainly using Mint, Ubuntu etc and obviously everything comes preconfigured, so I never had this problem.

I have installed Manjaro on same machine just to see if I will have same problem, but there I am able to browse network shares on Nautilus and Nemo out of the box. On Arch I can find only local host and one other share (as on the picture).
Initially I have thought that this is due to network configuration but I have checked with

 smbtree -U 

and I get:

 WORKGROUP
	\\WDMYCLOUD      		WD My Cloud
		\\WDMYCLOUD\Public         	Public
		\\WDMYCLOUD\BrightSide     	
		\\WDMYCLOUD\Aneta          	
		\\WDMYCLOUD\Piotr          	
		\\WDMYCLOUD\IPC$           	IPC Service (WD My Cloud)
	\\ROUTER         		Router
	\\MINTSERVER     		MintServer server (Samba, Linux Mint)
		\\MINTSERVER\SamsungPrinter 	Samsung Printer on Mint Server
		\\MINTSERVER\print$         	Printer Drivers
		\\MINTSERVER\DyskDomowy1    	
		\\MINTSERVER\IPC$           	IPC Service (MintServer server (Samba, Linux Mint))
	\\KOMPUTER_MADZI 	

So Samba is discovering just fine...
I tried to research on it but no luck so far, maybe I am looking for wrong thing.
Can someone point me out what I am missing here? Should I enable some sort of service to be able to see and browse those shares in file explorers?

Thanks for any kind tip
