I’m pretty new to self hosting, so apoligies in advance if what i wanna do sounds stupid. I’ve had an old lenovo desktop set up with truenas for about a month now, and I was wondering if it was possible to have an smb share and a filebrowser instance use the same directory. I tried to set it up like this when deploying filebrowser but when I set the directory to the smb share, truenas gave me an error saying that the path is being used as an smb share. the reason why I wanna do this is for simple access in my desktops file explorer, while also being able to access the same files from my phone, or over the internet. thanks in advance for taking time out of your day to give me a hand.

    There’s an integrity check they implemented last year.

    Login to your TrueNAS

    Go to the Shares section from the left hand menu

    Turn off the share

    Launch the app you need

    Once the app is fully deployed turn the file share back on again

    That should do it. If the system goes down or the app updates and redeploys you’ll need to turn off the share again to pass the integrity check.

      this seems to have worked, but whenever I go in in filebrowser everything is read only. any way to change this?
