Share an external USB drive via Samba on your Raspberry Pi | Michael Lefkowitz

Over this past weekend, I finally setup a network share via Samba on my Raspberry Pi with an old external USB hard drive I had laying around…

Thanks! It works.... kinda.... I can access my files via my android phone (using mx player), but I can't access it via my windows pc... Any ideas on how to fix this?

Tutorial no good. I'm also unable to access via Windows.

Thanks. And I got it working with Windows but I used another embedded system : in the explorer, type your board address like this : \your_board_ip\

embeddedmz commented 3 years ago

In my previous comment, there's a missing backslash in the address at the beginning (removed by the comment system).

I have been successful with your instructions, on sharing a hard drive connected to a Raspberry Pi. I can reach it with ssh from another raspberry pi, I just need to know how to mount this NAS from another Raspberry Pi.

I had issues getting it to work on win10 initially. Then I noticed the guide assumes you have a /share/ subdirectory or at least an ext4 formatted USB drive. In my NTFS formatted HDD this didn't work. I solved this by just sharing the root of the drive ( so pointing to "/media/USBHDD" in the path = line (as in path = "media/USBHDD") )

magsmanston commented 3 years ago

Sorry - I also added the browseable = yes line.

I am hoping this will let me share the drive on my embroidery machine. It mounts like a USB drive on my Mac and RPi. 🤞🏻

For those who are using Microsoft products, you have to install SMB v1.0 from the Enable features in the control panel, and BOOM it works.

Out of all the webpages that I've scrolled through! This one explains it perfectly. Thank you so much!

I got this working, I mapped the network drive and I can access it via explorer. However I'm trying to use it for File History and Windows won't let me use the drive!

Why is the path in

path = "/media/USBHDD/share"

in double-quotes?

None of the other paths in smb.conf (which are already there) are double-quoted - e.g.

log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m and
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u

Thanks.
