Create a new local account. How to create a Home Folder Share?

My current OS verson is: 6.9.4

 

I have created a local account: (eg: abcd).   I want he could have a home directory (with password protected) which can access from windows 10 (via smb).

 

I found this: https://kb.netgear.com/7027/ReadyNAS-OS-6-Creating-a-Home-Share,  BUT I do not have the option "home folders" on settings page.

 

I try to do it by myself, just go to "shares" to create a new share.  When I type the name 'abcd',  it says: "creation of abcd share leads to disabling of home folder of user abcd. Do you want to continue?"

 

What should I do?

  • I amswer this question by mself.

    For what ever reason.  my windows 10 has smb v1 enabled.  After  I disable the smb v1 client.  It works like linux.

  • I think it's windows 10 problem.  I do can access the share folder:  smb://11.11.11.11/abcd with correct user/pass when I use Linux

    Do I need do somthing in windows 10?

        As I noted on your other thread - the SMB v1 client wasn't the problem.
