I'm experiencing the Samba sharing issue in RouterOS, and googling around the Web has not been helpful so far. It goes like this:
I've set up a shared SMB folder on my Mikrotik hAP AC2 (ROS 6.43). It is a flash thumb drive formatted as Ext3. The share location is \\192.168.88.1\disk3. I allowed guest access with RW support.
I can use this shared folder from a couple of Linux guests which is just fine for me. However, when I connect to this shared folder from mac mini running macOS Catalina, I see no files. The share looks empty (while it is definitely not so).
I've tried various options in /etc/nsmb.conf on macOS, but none brought any relief. A small ray of hope appeared after following the advice from here:

I changed Finder network sorting behaviour:
Code: Select all
defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores -bool TRUE
So, please give a clue on where to dig further. Is it because RouterOS and macOS use different versions of Samba? What can I do to access the share from macOS?
