I have TrueNAS Scale set up with 2 4tb drives. We just use it as a data storage and to make things easier to get from one computer to another. We have 3 computers attached to this NAS. As of yesterday I cannot access the data that’s already on the SMB. I had to redo my computer and once back up I went to map the network drive and it will map it fine, but when it does, it creates a new directory instead of letting me into the one that’s already there. I have googled and searched everywhere trying to figure this out. Most likely I just don’t know how to ask the question correctly. Most of this stuff is just a little over my head but until now I have been able to figure it out. I honestly am not sure what you need to know to be able to help me. Please have a little pity on a guy just trying to make it work. I will do my very best to provide anything needed to help me get this straightened out.
make sure your permissions are set up properly. if the user you are using to access over SMB doesn’t have read permissions then the folders wont appear. You can always install FileBrowser (and give it generous read access) and it’ll confirm the files are there. Or alternatively you could also access the files using something like the Filezilla app and connecting over SSH/FTP

Thanks. I spent all day trying and trying, finally got it straightened out and at the same time fixed an issue that has been persistent since the beginning. The SMB Purpose was set to “private SMB datasets and shares” and I changed it to “default share parameters” and now everything is working like a charm!
