I solved this one while writing this very same post, so I’m sharing the solution with you, in case someone has the same problem.
I have a working Volumio ver.2.522 system running on a Raspberry Pi2, but I couldn’t find a way to access the shared Samba folders from a Win10 host on the same lan.
Initial scenario
I couldn’t access Volumio’s folder from the Win10 machine.
Windows would “see” the Volumio host:
but couldn’t access it:
The Solution
Enable “insecure guest logins” in Local Group Policy Editor (run gpedit.msc with admin user on Win10): Computer configuration\administrative templates\network\Lanman Workstation: “Enable insecure guest logons”
p.s. update
I guess It’s not the solution after all
I can indeed access the folder now but only partially
There’s a permission problem that it doesn’t look obvious to me. Let’s just say I can create folders but not save any file inside Win10 users can browse the whole INTERNAL are still limited whene writing stuff. I will post further development whenever I wrap my head around it and find a better approach.
I think I’ve come a final solution but I’d really appreciate if some of you Linux “experts” would comment on it since I’m not that much into securing Linux systems.
In order to be able to copy files+dirs from Windows to Volumio /data/INTERNAL folder through Samba I had to add these four lines to /etc/smb.conf , forcing the user/group to be volumio/volumio and permissions to be 0777:
[Internal Storage]
comment = Volumio Internal Music Folder
path = /data/INTERNAL
read only = no
guest ok = yes
force user = volumio
force group = volumio
force create mode = 0777
force directory mode = 0777
Now everything is being written inside /data/INTERNAL the same way I see files/folders are set inside /mnt/USB/ per default. So I guess it’s acceptable.
I guess the problem initially arised because of some latest Win10 updates that change its behaviour.
Alais, I hope I didn’t brake anything special by doing so. Please let me know if this approach has security risks/flaws/inconsistencies that I should consider.
I am struggling with this problem too. I have a Windows 10 Home pc which does not allow to connect to the Internal storage share on a standard Volumio 2 install, despite the suggestions above. It does not even see the Volumio device, like shown in the first picture in the first post. It does display it when I enable SMB 1.0 feautures in Windows 10,but that doesn’t allow me to connect to the share either. It sees volumio, but not the share.
Does anyone have pointers on how to address this issue. The volumio shareis visible from other Linux devices. but I need acces to the device from a windows computer as well.
Thank you, but not what I had in mind. I would like to be able to run self written scripts in order to keep files synced, and easiest for me would be to use a mapped drive.
Other people must be accessing their Volumio device from within Windows. Or am I the only one here?
