I can unmount and mount with "pkexec thunar".
But i suppose users are not meant to run as root.

I also tried "pkexec gigolo" but that wont start (cannot open display:).

I also tried the mount plugin for the panel and that dont have the mountpoint i
see in Thunar.

I dont know if its the uncommon why i share a folder in VirtualBox and that
maybe dont work well but its seems not so easy to mount/unmount stuff in Xfce
and Linux distributions in general.

Can the users even mount/umount stuff without using a terminal and typing
commands and passords each time?

If "pkexec thunar" can ask me for password cant Thunar also ask me for password
when i want to mount/unmount that required passwords instead of just failing
because i am not allowed because im not root?
