No external storage via smb possible

Hi,

I am struggling to integrate some of my shares into nextcloud. I use the latest stable 13.0.0.5.
Everything is setup but when I enter the details of my share I only get the red symbol that it is not working. Any idea? See screenshots

Thanks S

You need to enable CIFS

Hi,

the Data is on a NAS storage. I just wanted to proove with the screenshot that the link is working. I can access \10.0.0.10\Videos from my Windows 10 device. But Nextcloud does not integrate.

Thanks S

Is the smbclient package installed? Nextcloud uses it to communicate to SMB servers.

As well as the php-smbclient package?

I had that installed, but looking deeper into it, it doesn’t seem to be required.

Hi,

yes the smbclient package is installed otherwise you could not access the setting and prepare a SMB connection as shown in the screenshot above.

That’s really strange. The only package i did not install is php-smbclient. And this to install is not really easy as there’s no package. Could that block the connection?

Thanks S

Yes it would require php-smbclient since this is the main package NC uses to connect to remove SMB/CIFS shares.
