 Current Login: "User" with Password "1"

This allows me to connect to the share; however, it is "empty" on both the local and the remote machines.

I've followed at least 5-6 guides all w/ completely different instructions and would love somebody w/ experience on this to point to my fuck up and what I'm very clearly missing.

sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf

[global]

[share]

   path = /mnt/2666EE3966EE097F/
   writeable = yes
   browseable = yes
   public = yes
   create mask = 0777

   guest ok = yes

sudo nano /etc/fstab

Dolphin also has this tab below (local machine w/ the mounted drive), but any password input doesn't do anything (the explorer flashes w/ no info about what the "Set Password" button did)

    I was literally fighting with this these last 4 hours, and here's my conclusion:

    What a goddamn mess Samba is. How in the world is it so hard to make this thing work?

    I eventually realised that for my usecase minidlna would work, at least for a while, and it was amazing how simple it was.

    This is all I can say about the subject. I am surprised there are no simple ways to setup Samba folders such as a GUI that asks you "what ya wanna share? Oh, okay, you want people to write things on it? Cool! It's working now. Don't forget to check these ports on your firewall, bye!"
