Folder share of Drivepool

[BC92]

Hi,

 

I have just created a pool and shared the folder so I can access it from my android, I usually use Solid Explorer.

I have tried accessing the folder from my phone but it says access denied (tried on multiple apps and get the same thing). If I access another HDD that isn't in the pool it works.

Does anyone know why this is and if there is a way to fix it?

 

Thanks

I'd suggest comparing the share permissions and security permissions of the pool and non-pool folders to see if there's any difference?

I had already double checked that and they are both set up the exact same

Hmm. I've just installed Solid Explorer on my android phone and tested adding a LAN/SMB cloud connection with username/password access to my pool machine; I was able to access the pool and non-pool shares on it (including a share of the pool drive itself) without issues. Do you have a Windows PC you can use to test re accessing the pool and non-pool shares to see if that has the same problem?

I have just tried using another PC and get a network error saying windows cannot access. I was also having the same problem when I set up a windows storage space pool.

I have it set up without passwords.

I did some more searching and think I have fixed the issue.

in the security settings for the drivepool properties it didn't have everyone (even though sharing settings did) So I added that and it seems to work.

That would explain it; DrivePool creates pools with default security settings that prevent guest/anonymous access.
