The folders are accessible on every other device and SMB is enabled on the host machine. I’m trying to access hundreds of gigabytes of game roms via Retroarch when I’m out of the country so I’d appreciate an easier method if one exists, but I’ve ran through every troubleshooting guide I can find online, but the share folders still don’t exist according to my phone. I’ve also tried 5 or 6 different file manager apps, but they all say the same thing
If someone sees this in the distant future, I’m still looking for a solution so please reach out.
are you using the hidden c$ shares ?
have you set the LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy value properly ?
are you using a new version of the smb protocol ?
last immediate thought, are you trying to connect via name and having a dns issue?
Upvote that last comment. I’ve had a couple shares only accessible by IP on a file explorer app I was using, way back when.
I’m sorry in advance, but I don’t know how to answer the first two questions…I’m using whichever protocol is default for Win11 (SMB2, I think). I’ve been trying to find the folder through an automated scan, then plugging the hostname and address in myself when nothing comes up
