File sharing doesn’t work anymore with external drive I could not get a smb connection from my MacBook Pro (M1, Ventura 13.2.1) to my server (Mac mini from 2018 also with Ventura 13.2.1) if I try to open an external drive. Everything works fine after reboot on both machines with an internal sharing (user folder for example). Deactivating file sharing on system preferences did not change anything. Also removing the external drive there and re-adding it. Does anyone has an idea?

Cannot connect to OMV (Open Media Vault) from Macbook - worked once and not since. Once I had initialised my new M1 Pro, I added a server - pointing to my Raspberry Pi 4 running OMV 66.9.15 When I first added the server, it all seemed fine - I could browse shares, copied files etc. However, since then, the Macbook refuses to connect to it. The Pi shows up fine under Networks, and I can click on it - but it eventually times out and I get an error There was a problem connecting to the server 'PI4 SMB/CIFS' The server may not exist or is no available at this time....and so on. The server is call PI4 and the OMV SMB service is set to SMB2. I also note that a couple of files called .DS_Store and ._.DS_Store were created in the root folder of both the shares I had accessed the 1st time round - with timestamps corresponding to the time of access. These files do not exist in other shares and had not existed prior to my 1st Macbook access... I even enabled Netbios on the OMV SMB settings- because someone on the OMV forum said it helped them - did not help me. I can happily access all the shares just fine from my Windows + Android devices and from my son's Ipad running OS17.3 UPDATE: I tried setting OMV to SMB3 - did not help. And my laptop also updated to Sonoma 14.4.1 - and this has not helped either... Any ideas please on how to fix this please? Thank you!

File sharing with Mac Studio Problem sharing files with Mac Studio: Other computers on network not logging on the Mac Studio, while Mac Studio could log onto them for file sharing after migrating from Intel iMac Pro to new M2 Mac Studio Ultra. When attempting to connect from an Intel MacBook Pro to an M2 Mac Studio Ultra, this error message displayed when clicking on Network\Mac Studio\Connect: There was a problem connecting to the server "Mac Studio server name" The server may not exist or is unavailable... I found this suggestion on OS10Daily, The article suggests toggling off file sharing, restarting and then turning it back on. This was done and the next logon attempt (by clicking Connect As…) showed the password entry window. I entered the password and got this message, "Access to your account on the server "Mac Studio server name" has been denied. The only variable not previously changed was the Login Items. I removed the only item from the Mac Studio Login Items, and toggled background items on and off leaving a couple off and restarted the Mac Studio. Then, from the MBPro, I clicked on Network\ Mac Studio\Connect and was logged on to the Mac Studio and was connected. I disconnected and repeated this and again was connected The Mac Studio now appeared in Locations in the MacBook Pro's sidebar, as well. Interestingly, even when Mac Studio would not permit a logon, toggling File Sharing on and off, Mac Studio appeared and disappeared from the Network locations list, keyboard and mouse sharing between the Mac Studio and MBPro worked, and dragging files between the two worked, suggesting a permission issue as opposed to a firmware issue. The problem could be partly a firmware problem, given I did reinstall Sonoma (which could have updated the firmware), but it had no effect until the settings were changed as above.. Summary: · Reinstall Sonoma (MacOS 14.0) · Turn off File Sharing, Reboot, turn on file sharing (toggles appearance of Mac Studio in MBPro’s network; logon window appears after clicking connect, but access is denied) · Remove items from Login Items and toggle background items on and off leaving some off and restart Mac Studio. Keep removing background permissions until l connection works. It appears that migration from Intel Macs to Apple silicon Macs may not be trouble free and resolving the conflicts with file sharing can be challenging. [Edited by Moderator]

my mac Device- Mac mini M2

I am currently experiencing an issue with a shared folder on our Windows Server 2008 Standard. When the system enters sleep mode or remains inactive for a period of time, access to the shared folder is denied. It takes 2-3 minutes to reconnect to the server, after which the folder works fine again.

Could you please advise on how to maintain continuous access to the shared folder without disconnection, even during periods of inactivity?
