dolphin has no share folder option
I have installed to share my folders on my Kubuntu PC on my windows pc. I can see and get access to my kubuntu pc from my windows machine and see my shared printers. I cannot see or share any of my files. I cannot share a file on my dolphin file manager. I can access Samba Shares but cannot add to it. The Samba shares folder is empty. It does not look like I am sharing anything. I have followed the Ubunto documentation from:https:/
Sharing a Folder
To share a directory you must have permission to access the directory. Go to your home directory ( Places -> Home folder). Right click on the "Documents" directory and in the pop up menu select "Share Folder".
If samba is not installed you will get a pop up menu "Sharing services are not installed". Select "Install Windows networks support (SMB)" and deselect "Install Unix networks support (NFS)" -> then click "Install services".
If you get an error message that the samba .deb could not be found, open a terminal and update apt-get.
I have done all of this but I cannot get to the Shared folder or make one to share.
