I have been trying to share a windows folder in volumio using smb.
I have the correct local ip adress of my pc, folder path, username and password but it just won’t let me share the folder, which makes me frustrated because I was hoping to jump from Roon to Volumio.
I get this error:
I really like volumio but if local folder sharing doesn’t work, I might as well go back to Roon.
Please help me solve this.
have you tried typing in / not \ as you have?
mine had to be \192.168.0.2\nas/FLAC Music - so you may have to play around until you find the right ones for your system
Here is a guide that maybe can give you som hints, even if it was written for Win10 and Volumio 2.x.
There are a lot of posts asking for help on successfully sharing a folder in Windows 10 that can be mounted by Volumio. This is partly due to changes by Microsoft as to which versions of the smb protocol it accepts, and also the complexities of Windows permissions, and how they are changed/interact.
I don’t use Windows very much myself nowadays, but since I had a fresh installation on a new ssd, I thought it would be a good idea to have a look at the simplest way that I could get a shared fold…

on my windows machine i created an ordinary user called volumio
on volumio i connect via cifs using the the credentials for the volumio user created on the windows machine.
That’s something to try. Thanks.
I did follow that guide, to no avail. But thanks anyway.
