I'm running a virtual machine that connects to an SMB file share, and while it works fine for my account and a few others, most users are having issues. They're prompted to enter credentials, and even after doing so, they can't access the share. I don't think it's a networking problem since I can connect without any issues. All users should have the Storage File Data SMB Share Contributor role. Can anyone suggest what I might be overlooking?

Have you checked the NTFS permissions on the file share? Sometimes the issue can be related to these permissions. It's worth a look to make sure everything is set up correctly.
What authentication method did you choose for the connection? I faced this issue while using Azure Kerberos, but I've managed to sort it out now.
Glad to hear you fixed your problem! For others facing similar issues, Azure Kerberos can be tricky. Make sure everything's configured properly if you're going that route.
I had a similar issue and all I had to do was restart the VM. It seemed to clear whatever was stuck and allowed access for everyone afterward.
Double-check if there are any IP or network restrictions on your Storage Account that could be affecting access for certain users.
That's interesting! Sometimes, if you update file share permissions while users are logged in, they might need to fully sign out and back in to get the changes to take effect. A restart can force that refresh.
