How to [DISABLE] the default sharing of external HDD in SMB?

  • A new beginner in ELEC which is a really amazing OS for the TV.

    I want to [DISABLE] the default sharing of external HDD in SMB as I don't want to expose the whole drive to outside but only a real video path.

    I edited the smb confg file in ~/.configs but there are always whole HDD in the SMB sharing.

    Thanks for help this. :):):)

  • Go into LE settings add-on > Services > Samba > Disable drive sharing - I forget the actual wording.

    Thank you for your reply. While I cannot find the "disable drive sharing" in the Services->Samba, there are only "Group, WINS Server ... etc.".

  • If you look in Kodi settings you will see SMB "client" settings. If you look in the LE settings add-on (also referred to in post #4) under services you will find the Samba "server" settings where there is definitely an "Auto-Share External Drives" option. You're looking at client settings.
