| 2024-04-28 |  | | en | Thank you for writing this software. It took me a long time to figure out how to mount my DNS-321 but here's what worked: Settings cog Keep Password: No Log Level: Info Max Protocol Version: SMB1/CIFS LMCompatabilityLevel: 5 Mount a new Windows file server screen Server Host Name / IP Address: 192.168.1.190 (this is the static IP address I set for the DNS-321 yours will likely be different) Server Port Number: 445 User Name: blank Password: blank Domain Name: blank Shared Resource Name: blank Root Directory: blank |

| 2022-11-10 |  | | en | Using the built-in ChromeOS Files app SMB file sharing service I could open files on my Win10 share but I could not write files to my Win10 share. Writing from other Win10 PC's to the share worked fine but I could not write from the ChromeBook's built-in SMB service. Now finally with this app I can write files to my Win10 SMB share! Only problem is that the date info on the files in the share are messed up. They all show "Today 5:00 AM", except for files that actually were written today, those show the correct time/date. Anybody else experiencing this? |
| 2022-09-29 |  | | de | Super App, wenn man auf einen alten Dateiserver mit älterer SMB Version zugreifen möchte. Perfect, if you need to access an old fileserver with older SMB version, which Chromeos does not support out-of-the-box |
| 2022-08-22 |  | | en | Thank you SOOOO much! Trying to get my network drive on my ASUS router to work with my chromebook has NEVER worked, windows was fine. I tried the inbuilt chromeOS SMB file share but nothing. This worked instantly. Extremely pleased. |
