Hi, I have the latest TrueNAS scale installed and SMB shares with a Mac laptop. I would like to store each user’s OneDrive and Google Drive folders on the share, but it simply won’t let me select the location, for either. I get errors.
Is there some secret sauce configuration that allows for both to be stored on TN Scale SMB shares?
Thanks,
Jim
Are you able to use the SMB shares successfully otherwise? Can you post some screenshots of what you are trying and failing at?
If you can’t post images yet, try browsing a few different threads and take the forum BOT tutorial to get your user level up.

Bidirectional syncing I am assuming is what you are asking for, between the Samba share and the external services?
This isn’t really a simple problem to solve unfortunately.
I’ve had success with GoodSync in the past for a few SharePoints users wanted local access to.
TrueNAS by default (Cloud backup tasks with rclone) can do push/pull sync with cloud services but it’s an either or situation not a bidirectional one.
It also can do local bidirectional sync with the SyncThing app. But that doesn’t help you with what you are asking.
GoodSync is kinda like rclone+syncthing all in one package.
You can use syncthing on the client pc and have it sync the users profile (C:/Users/user/desktop, downloads, documents) to the TrueNAS. You probably don’t want to backup AppData tho so you should scope to subfolders.
At the same time you have OneDrive client backing up the users Downloads/Desktop/Documents to OneDrive. It does this by default.
This kind of solves the problem in a round about way but it’s a hokey process.
No, not bidirectional syncing. I just want the GoogleDrive and OneDrive clients on the Mac to have their file locations on the NAS vs in the User’s Home Directory.
Yes, can use the SMB shares just fine, but not for GoogleDrive or OneDrive (Mac client folders).
Tried uploading images to the reply, but got an “An error occurred: Sorry, you can’t embed media items in a post.” error.
Anyway, GoogleDrive simply says “Can’t sync ”
OneDrive at least gives a clue “Your OneDrive folder can’t be created in the location you specified…Make sure the location isn’t on a removable media…”
Try browsing a few other threads and/or take the Tutorial by TrueNAS BOT to get your user level up. You should be able to post images after that.
