If you don't need much sophistication, you can add to fstab with options:
noauto,x-systemd.automount

Since it's not a startup time dependency, startup won't hang waiting
for it if it's not present. If present, it won't be automatically
mounted until the mountpoint is accessed.

If you want it to automatically unmount when not being used, also include:
x-systemd.idle-timeout="10m"
