mount share cifs folder without sudo
I want to mount share folder.
Curren command line:
sudo mount -t cifs -o username=USERNAME,password=PASSWD
Is it have some safe way (without permanent sudo and other). Any others utils?
If this is not possible in general, it will be enough for me to be able to mount only a certain shared folder to a certain place.

To be able to mount that folder as a normal user, include the mount options for the cifs folder in the configuration file /etc/fstab, and add the options noauto,user, similar to:
//nas-server/cifsShare /media/user/cifsShare cifs -o username=<username>,noauto,user 0 0
The option noauto will make sure the drive is not mounted during startup, but will nevertheless register all parameters necessary to mount the drive. The option user will allow any user to mount the drive.
With this setup, any user is able to mount the share with the mount command, followed by the path that was specified in fstab where the folder is to be mounted, e.g.
mount /media/user/cifsShare
or followed by the share, as in
mount //nas-server/cifsShare
Easier, probably, will be to mount the share using the file manager (Files in standard Ubuntu 18.04). In standard Files, one mounts a drive by providing the URI, in the form of
smb://server/share
A dialog will pop up to ask login, domain and password. Optionally, these settings can be remembered. You can subsequently make a bookmark for easy one-click access in the future.
This works out of the box in several editions of Ubuntu (stock Ubuntu, but also Kubuntu, Xubuntu, ...) and avoids the need to change system configuration files.

@vanadium, You might want to show a generic fstab entry in your answer with the noauto,user combination so that it is more obvious. Then to mount the share all Hait would have to do is issue a "mount /mountpoint" - without sudo just as you described.
