TrueNAS Windows Shares Part 1

In the video below, we cover how to set up Windows Shares in TrueNAS

This is not limited to Windows computers though, other operating systems can connect to a shared folder on a Samba server

We begin with how Windows and FreeBSD differ when it comes to file permissions and show how to create a placeholder user for instance

Next we show how to create a Home Share so that each user can have their own private home directory on the NAS

Next we show how to create groups and also how to configure user accounts to connect to a Windows share and their own home directory

This video had been split into two parts, so do check out part 2

Sharing is caring!
