Read carefully. Devices from the network are nested in the "Network" folder, and are not immediately displayed in the menu

My report was inappropriately merged with this issue. My Network Drives panel option shows the network folder, but nothing in it. In Windows Explorer, I can see all of the network devices. In Files App, I see nothing but an empty folder. This ticket seems to be complaining that they have to open the Network folder inside the Network item in the panel. That's not my case at all. Whoever is managing these requests and closing them is not addressing the issue here.

The network folder scans for all items on the network but can be slow (There's a loading icon for this in the tab bar). Thats a limitation of Windows/File explorer.
If you see the main issue screenshot you can see this issue asks to show devices on the sidebar as well, which is what you are requesting.

I let it run overnight because I had the window open when I went to bed. Still nothing in my Network folder of my sidepanel. In windows Explorer there is no delay, All of my items are shown.

I apologize for that, we're working on improving the process for managing issues. It helps when we have detailed issues with steps to reproduce the problem. Filling out the requirements for the way you expect the feature to work helps as well.
