Hi Tom,

I’ve retraced all steps but am still stuck.

Double check that your paths are not overlapping and if the issue continues, please consider a forum post with a description of the paths in each share.

Have created 2 SMB shares called Media and Backups. Both visible from win10 explorer (both set to allow guest so no credential s required. On other systems I have then been able to create folders under each share and populate from windows. When I add a folder within windows to one SMB share it appears in BOTH. Help!!!!!!

I really don’t under stand why there isn’t a premade option for the exceedingly simple use case of a wide open server with no passwords or logins, on a home network with one user, not exposed to the outside.

We suggest you try using SMB home shares to achieve this.

Example : User1 permissions to use Folder1 and User2 permissions to use Folder2 but when you establish connection on \\10.0.10.1 and use user User1 credentials to not see Folder2.

You will need to add an @Everyone ACL to the dataset you are sharing for this to work.

SMB sharing to macOS is very popular with the one limitation that Spotlight is not fully supported.

We’re sorry you’re having so much trouble. Have you watched this video from Lawrence Systems (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDs0DLj7J9w) or this official one (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCfX4sqDmzs)?

Followed every single step here to every minute detail. Referenced 3 other tutorials to validate all of the steps. I see windowshare, but homeuser cannot access anything.
Searched the forums and found several posts with videos from 4+ years ago using a version that doesn’t exist anymore. Followed the steps as best as I could. Homeuser still cannot access anything.
Checked group policies to allow insecure connections, removed any conflicting windows/generic credentials. Homeuser still cannot access anything.
Disabled all firewalls, all antivirus software, user account control, turned on network discovery and file sharing. Homeuser still cannot access anything.
Enabled the deprecated windows features for SMB1.0/CIFS sharing support. Homeuser still cannot access anything.
Am I missing something or is FreeNAS just not good for clients using windows?

I have tried “allow guest” and it fails to connect from a Mac and I did make sure to “connect as guest” on the Mac as well .

Could you also make a similar one but then for NFS-shares? Windows 10 Pro and Enterprise have a NFS-Client built in, but it is diffecult to get this running and to access NFS-share via Windows. Though the performance shoud be better if it all works.
