How can I share my external drive? I follow your tutorial, thank you. I was able to experiment to share a folder. But I could not figure out how to share external drive or files within the external drive. Most likely I do not understand the path to my external drive. /media/user/external. not sure what the path should be. I would love to get your helpl, thanks.

[@keithmiller9665]

Needs to be mounted directly under /media not /media/user

[@QAZAQ-6666]

Thank you

[@keithmiller9665]

In your smb.conf you had browsable not browseable

[@sjljc2019]

I may be the very first person who could not access the shared folder. I followed each and every step shown here but was unable to access it from my Mac. Any help would be highly appreciated. The exact issue that I am facing is, I can access the shared folder from a different server(linux) using smbclient but not from my local Mac or Windows.😭

[@mach1553]

Would MX Linux be any different?

[@sarifudinbaharsah3367]

when i try to access my samba folder from windows 10, a popup allways appears with the message "your user or password incorrect" please help me for solved this issue

[@k.chriscaldwell4141]

Master the basics of permissions and ACLs first.

[@keithmiller9665]

Can do without the annoying background music.
