[Windows] Trying to share a Remote to local network via SMB

Help and Support

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Creating a network shared folder on Windows 10 out of a incoming connected SMB remote fails with the error message “You don't have permission to share or stop sharing this folder.“

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

rclone v1.71.1
- os/version: Microsoft Windows 10 Home 22H2 22H2 (64 bit)
- os/kernel: 10.0.19045.6332 (x86_64)
- os/type: windows
- os/arch: amd64
- go/version: go1.25.1
- go/linking: static
- go/tags: cmount

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

SMB/CIFS

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

rclone mount "SMB1:/path/folder" C:/ Z: --links

Please run 'rclone config redacted' and share the full output. If you get command not found, please make sure to update rclone.

[SMB1]
type = smb
host = XXX
user = XXX
pass = XXX

I wish to re-share/forward a SMB share to a printer on the network because regular Windows SMB “Share Bridging” doesn't work.

welcome to the forum,

i have a howto guide, about rclone smb remote versus native windows os mounting.
and the reason i use native windows os mounts.
How to access SMB/SAMBA with rclone

just curios, what is the point of using rclone mount instead of built-in windows os network sharing ?

what reported the error, rclone, windows desktop or what?

for sure, it is possible to share a rclone mount over a network.
i have done it over LAN, tailscale and openvpn.

i have writen about it in the forum.

Native Windows 10 would not let me so I wanted to try third party solution.

The setup is:

Intranet A: Asus router “NAS” with its built-in SMB + VPN server.

Intranet B:
Multi Function Printer
Windows laptop that runs 24/7.

The laptop is used for various remote desktop and VPN needs year round. I want the printer to access the “NAS” I have already connected through the laptop, as a form of bridge device. I asked AI for solutions and tried my own ideas too without success.

Basically I first tried mounting the NAS as a network drive in Windows, to then create a network shared folder from the laptop on that intranet, something that any printer can find (because you can't setup Tailscale/OpenVPN/WireGuard etc on printers and other embedded systems). It stops working when I try to create a shared folder on the laptop because of some access error in Windows settings. I don't have the error written down.

Do you know a simpler way for this setup? Tailscale is incredible for devices that support it (but printers can't be used)

i am sure it works. up above, i shared two topics. did you read them, did you try ??

5

Yes, but it assumes I use two windows machines with access to terminal. I don't have that setup. Only one windows laptop.

fwiw, can install tailscale on NAS. i do with a bunch of synology devices.

Subnet routers let you extend your Tailscale network (known as a tailnet) to include devices that don't or can't run the Tailscale client
