Description

Describe the bug
The menu displays multiple SMB Connection entries without any differentiation, making it difficult to identify distinct connections and potentially causing confusion.

To Reproduce

  1. Click the ‘+’ icon.
  2. Click ‘Cloud Connection’.
  3. Select ‘SMB Connection’.
  4. Click ‘USE CUSTOM IP’.
  5. Enter a server IP address in the ‘Server IP Address’ field (e.g., test.com).
  6. Click ‘CREATE’.
  7. Repeat steps 1-6 using the same ‘Connection name’ (e.g., the default ‘SMB Connection’) but a different server IP address.
  8. Click the ‘Hamburger’ icon to view the connection list.

Expected behavior
Each SMB connection entry should display a unique or distinguishable ‘Connection name’ to help differentiate between distinct connections.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue through the SMB Connection creation flow, using identical connection names with different server IP addresses, then inspect the connection list opened by the Hamburger icon. Trace how SMB entries are labeled and make the entries distinguishable; done means separate connections no longer appear identical in the menu.
