Yes please. Windows don't like public smb folders. Every now and than after mapped the smb disk acces it quickly on my laptop it asks me for credentials even tho it's public. This would be fix if the smb folders actually had user and password credentials. Not to say that it's basic security feature. Please guys🙏🏻

in casaos terminal run this command below. change the word user to the user you have for your casaos, or a user you have in the linux system. it will then ask for you to set the smb password for that user that you can use when adding the share in windows.

sudo smbpasswd -a user
