The only Samba server that works for me. So I paid for the pro version and it's so worth it. By the way a tip for those trying to use their Windows PC to connect to this LAN drive or SMB server on your non rooted Android device, there is a solution. Install Owlfiles app from Microsoft store on to your Windows 10/11 PC. Then you can set a custom tcp port number eg 1024 for connecting to your SMB server aka LAN drive Android device.

Simple and easy to setup and make it work!!! A little note: may need to share top root of device that stored 'shared sub folders' or else you need to re-pickup shared folder everytime after restart the device. After use for a while, it's seem smb service will be error when try to access folder that contains many files (18 still ok, 38 become invalid smb).
