I have a laptop (Fedora Linux) which hosts a Samba server connected my local network. However, it seems like successfully connecting to the server is a hit or miss for my iPhone and iPad. A lot of times, Files would just suddenly report that an unknown error has occurred. This usually happens...

I'm considering instead of Dropbox or iCloud, pay for my own hosted server with 10TB of storage and put either an NFS or an SMB server on it (or both) and just use that as my cloud storage. The hosting site will do backups. As a third level thing, I could also push it off up to Dropbox. The...

This problem is driving me crazy, and I’m hoping someone has seen this before and knows what’s going on. My main system is an old iMac running El Cap, and a few days ago I noticed that a home directory on another computer on my network (running Mojave) was being mounted by some unknown process...

Back in 2020 I had already opened a thread about problems backing up to an SMB share on my NAS; it was so slow it would never catch up with all the snapshots my system creates every hour. I had been able to solve this by blacklisting all those many small files that don't really need to be...

Hello All, I've been banging my head against a wall for weeks and am getting nowhere. I have a client who has a network share on a Windows 2019 server that works fine for all Win and MAc machines until "Encrypt data access" is turned on in the server manager. Once it's turned on, anytime 3...

This on a 2017 iMac running 10.15.7 I'm a little confused as to how the Finder displays mounted SMB shares. I have a remote Raspberry Pi which is behind a double NAT. I have set up a reverse SSH tunnel for access to SMB shares. The code on the Pi looks like this: ssh -nNTC -R...

I'm on a Mac mini M1 with Big Sur and working with 2 different Audio programs - reaper and logic. Both programs have the same problem - I can’t delete files within the program. I need to do this to clean out a project with files. I’ve tried using a a wired network to a Synology NAS and a Qnap...

So this has been bugging me for a while, but I'm pretty clueless as to what's wrong. I have a PC I use for video games, which runs Windows 10 LTSC 1809. I have Windows 10's native file sharing enabled, which I used to be able to connect to from my Mac running Mavericks. At some point in the...

As much as I love my new M1 Macbook Air, one thing that it has huge issues with is accessing shares on my Qnap server. I've setup both SMB and AFP shares, and they are slow, disconnect all the time, and generally are a huge pain. Pretty much unusable at times. My Windows 10 laptop has zero...

Hello all, I am supporting a customer who mainly has MacBook Pro models from 2017-2019 in use. All devices are running macOS Catalina version 15.*.*. The MacBooks access a Windows file server in the 1&1 Ionos Cloud via a site-to-site VPN (firewall in the office > firewall in the data center)...

Files (the iOS app) has supported smb since 13.0 if I remember correctly. I remember being excited about it. Now I need it. smb://airportextremeipaddress.local seems right but after about 25 seconds, it times out and I get “There was a problem conbecting to the server”. iOS 14.3 AirPort...

I thought this may help those who want to use Spatial Audio. Supported Air Video HD - Yes (turn Surround on in audio settings) Apple TV - Yes Disney+ - Yes Hulu - Yes Plex - Yes (go into settings > advanced and enable old video player) then quit and relaunch the plex app. FE File Explorer -...

Hello all, I connected a USB Hard Drive formatted as Mac OS Journaled to my R7900|Nighthawk X6 AC3000 Tri-Band WiFi Router. This is my first time doing this so I don't know much about doing this setup. On my Mac with OS Catalina 10.15, when I went to the Network folder, it shows as a PC icon...

We've all had issues with SMB shares being randomly dropped, but I seem to have the opposite problem. I have an SMB share that keeps on automatically reconnecting for reasons I cannot fathom. The share is a drive (LaCie) on another Mac (Happy Meal) on the local network, to which I do connect...

Hi The latest MAC 10.14.x and MAC 10.15.x OS have degraded their behavior with Word applications on Network drives mapped via SMB. These network drive are shared drives on Windows-2019 File server or it can be on any Linux File server. Issues: A) 10.14.x and above versions of MAC always open...

Hey, Since I have updated my 2012 MacBook Air to Catalina (latest version) I have sometimes no access to a network shared Disk on my Mac Pro 5,1 with latest version of Mojave - other shared disks on the same computer like Macintosh SSD (Mac Pro System Disk), TimeMachine Backups can be mounted...

I’m thinking with iPadOS’ SMB support that multiple apps might support this need but since I just got an iPad and haven’t setup SMB yet, I’m not sure. Basically I’m looking for a comic/manga reader app. My comics are stored on a shared hard drive connected to my router. I *don’t* want to store...

Hi all, So, I've installed iOS13 and I have a Synology NAS at home which has SMB server in it. On my Mac, I can see the SMB server in a Finder window, however on Files.app, the server is not there. On the other hand if I try to connect with the IP address of the server it does connect. Is this...

Hi, i created a share in catalina - if i add a user with "read only" user is still able to create folders and delete files. does anybody has this behavior too? thanks

Hello, I have no way to try. Does tvOS 13 now when iOS 13 can access SMB shares do the same? Or can apps do that? So can I access files on my Time Machine?
