The current work on Samba also brings a reengineering to easily allow introducing support to new protocols.
It is not configurable to work as plugin but developers won't need to worry about details, they just need to provide the interface required to introduce support to new protocols.

As soon Samba support gets done, some documentation about adding new
protocols to filemanager should be provided.

Title:
  File manager should have a extension api

Status in File Manager application for Ubuntu devices:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  A file manager should be developed with an extension api in mind from
  the very beginning. Only basic level functionality should exists in
  the core code. All other advanced features & functionality can be
  achieved through plugins & extensions.

  It gives uses & developers several advantages:

  1. Developers only have to maintain a basic level of code, code
  remains clean & bug-free(almost).

  2. Normal users can use it without minimal-fuss. Power-users can have
  advanced functionality through plugins.

  3. When the code remains bug-free for longer amount of period,
  developers can concentrate on other things like modernize the UI,
  integration with various desktop shells...etc.

  For example, Nautilus has a very extensive Extension-API
  (https://developer.gnome.org/libnautilus-extension/stable/). Popular
  features like open-in-terminal, open-as-root do not exist in nautilus
  code but as a default extension.
