Hi, You’ll likely need to also add the folder or location for which you wish to share via smb. For example, if you wish to share your entire Home directory, do the following:
• In the File Sharing screen, VO-space on the Add SharePoint button. • Press cmd-shift-c to show your entire computer. • In the table, find the Macintosh HD, expand it, then navigate to the Users folder, expand it and navigate to your Home directory, which should be kevinlgibbs. • Do not expand this. • Stop interacting with the table, and navigate to the Add button. This would share your entire home folder. You might get an error about not being able to ad users. Don’t worry about it though as only you, as Kevin L Gibbs can be given access to the Kevin L Gibbs home directory. Now that there is a SharePoint to share, hopefully, you should see your Mini as a connectable device. HTH.
