❓ [SambaNAS] How do I add additional share folders? about hassio-addons

[dianlight]

This Addon is not meant to create shares that are not disks. In your case, however, I don't understand the problem; you can use /media which is already mapped to your disk without any problems. I don't understand the advantage of partitioning the disk and then having an addon that remounts the partition and adds it to /media

When running the internal SSD drive only, is it possible to create subfolders in /media and share those with different users? I would not want to share the whole dir with everyone who should be able to use the NAS for backup purposes.

Ist there no (easy) way to create and share folders on existing drives separately? Iw ould be great to give individual access rights not only by drive but also by folder.

Hi,
First, thank you for the great Add-on!

I am also interested in letting different users access different subfolders on one drive with different rights.
I am using Samba NAS share to share a 4 TB drive where I have documents, music, photos and 1st-level backup for external devices.
Examples:

• IP Camera saves motions-triggered events and I do not want it to have a chance to mess-up my documents (or anything else)
• Users viewing photos and video with a view-only access.
• Devices like smartphones backing-up to separate folders to preserve privacy of users.
• and the list goes on ...

I have read about a command to mount USB drives which can also be used for mounting folders as drives.
Normally, one must edit some boot file on HASS IO and write a script (or some similar edits) to mount custom drives like this. I am not confident to do that yet.
And I see the opportunity in extending the functionality of your add-on.

Could you consider that please?
