Cannot set up network drive to connect to server

[newguy_815]

To start, I want to say I know next to nothing about Truenas. Someone else set my server up for me. It stores files and spreads them across several hard drives. That's about all I know about it. In layman's terms, what I want to do is to access the files on the server from my laptop via file explorer. The server is currently set up to use SMB to allow me to access the files. I know for a fact that the SMB setting on the server are properly configured, because I am able to successfully access the files from my desktop, which was also set up for me. I want to be able to access these files via my laptop, but I just don't know how to connect to the server. On my desktop, when I open the file explorer and I go to "This PC" (windows 10), under "Network locations (1)", that is where I access my server from my desktop. The network drive under network locations is called "My Files (\\server_ip) (X:)". I click on that, and I see all my files. Whatever that is, that is what I want to set up on my laptop. What I tried doing was connecting directly to the server in file explorer. So in file explorer, I tried to access the file path "\\server_ip". It asked for credentials, which I provided (not the root user, but a user that should have access to everything I think). Then it showed me the "My Files" folder of my server, but when I opened it, it was empty. I know the folder is not empty, so my connection to the server is the problem. After looking into it, I think I need to set up (map) a network drive, but I don't know what the path to the folder is, or how to find it. Any and all help would be appreciated.

All devices are connected to the same network, as I can successfully access the truenas ui from both my laptop and desktop. If you have any questions about my server settings, just let me know. I am hesitant to actually change any settings in truenas, because everything works fine on my desktop. I just want to set up a connection on my laptop, so that is where I believe my problem is. I had a look at other threads, but they didn't really help, as there's technically nothing wrong with my SMB setup, or my truenas server. I just don't know how to use it.

Some information that my help:

• The path for the SMB is this: "/mnt/Storage/My Files". It is enabled.
• Everything is on one pool, and I believe that pool is called "Storage", which is what I named it.
• All disks (exclusing OS disks) are mapped to the one pool, which is where the "My Files" folder exists.
• The path of the working network drive on my desktop (as far as I can tell from cmd command "net use") is "\\server_ip\My Files", which just brings up an empty folder on my laptop.
