I’ve been fighting this issue ever since the SONOS App update. Right now I get “Access Denied” when trying to access my 2TB Samsung SSD attached to my TP-Link Router.  I can copy and move all the files from my MacBook and Windows 11 system BUT SONOS will NOT play the files giving “access Denied.”  I tried to set up rights from the Windows system since  the SONOS app has one feature not on the MacBook.  Today I decided to take a bigger hammer to the problem and connect the SSD directly to the Macbook, NO FILE FOLDERS displayed?  Now I’m wondering what would be the best Disk Format for that SSD to get the Music Library online.  Any suggestions welcomed 

The MacBook Version of the app : No “Fix Permissions” option

 

The Windows Version of the app.  Should it really fix the permissions?

Sonos has dropped support for SMB v1 earlier this year and the new app does not allow you to connect to a folder that has it enabled. Have you tried this work around?:

Caver… I’ve tried just about everything.  I use an iMac with an external Crucial X8 SSD to store my Sonos Library.  The iMac delivers the SMB protocol but… no drive(s) appear under “Your Sources” on the iOS Sonos app. I was turned on to FileBrowser which sniffed out, mounted and displayed the contents of my Crucial drive and, showed all of its contents.  But, here’s the caveat… Did it do that because it utilizes all three SMB protocols and Sonos only versions 2 and 3?  Who knows?

As you probably know, there is no Mac software that comes with the drives to toggle it to be SMB2 or 3. For me anyway, it can’t be done.  I know because I called Crucial Support.  Now, for Windows? Yes, the drive comes with a Windows drive manager.

All of this is a pain in the butt and, my hope is that Sonos releases a Smart Installer that gives people like us who have vast curated music libraries the choice to go back to where we were. The safety concerns for me by sticking to SMBv1 are ZERO.
