How to Access a Windows Shared Drive on Linux Mint?

Asked By GlitteryPanda42 On

I'm having some trouble accessing a Windows shared drive from my Linux Mint system using Samba. I've installed Samba and tried to access the share with the command `smb://ip address/drive`, but I keep getting a "no such file or directory" error. My goal is to access this drive for my Kodi setup, and my other Windows PC can see the share just fine on the network. Any tips on how to properly access the shared drive from Linux Mint?

Have you considered using your file manager to access the share? You can try entering `smb://ip/shareName` directly in Nemo. If you're not familiar with Nemo, it's just the default file manager for Linux Mint. Let me know if that helps!

If your file browser isn't showing the Windows share, make sure that the share is set up correctly on the Windows side. Sometimes it needs permissions adjusted. You could also try entering `network:///` in the file manager and see if it shows up there.
