I'm pretty new to Ubuntu and having issues with Samba shares. I have Ubuntu 20.04 installed on the server and win10 on my desktop. None of the shared folders I create (smb.conf or Nautilus) show up. The weird part is that there are some folders showing up that is accessible from the server and win10 (hassio folders). I'm assuming samba is working just that I have missed some configuration or something is interfering.

Between server restarts it alternates between showing Public & test folder and showing the other 5 hassio folders in other locations on ubuntu. On the win10 machine at always shows the 5 hassio folders
This has solved it for me To enable access under the guest account from your computer, you need to use the Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc). Go to the section: Computer Configuration -> Administrative templates -> Network -> Lanman Workstation. Find and enable the policy Enable insecure guest logons. These policy settings determine whether the SMB client will allow unsafe guest logon to the SMB server.
