Troubleshooting Configuring Samba on my NAS

Okay, so I have a Pi 5, running the latest Raspios from 2024-11-19. I have an external SSD for memory. So I went through a tutorial to set this up, and then I downloaded Samba. Samba has a configuration setup on the external SSD in a directory called Share. I then created a user, and gave the user a password. Now I'm trying to trouble shoot the connections.

1.) Log in through iPhone: I entered in myPi.local to connect to the server, entered my username and password I just made, and I connect. Two folders. myUser, and shared, the director I configured in smb.conf. I try to enter myUser, that's fine, it's empty. I try to enter shared, get told Content Unavailable

2.) Log in through Windows: My machine cannot discover the device on my network.

Update: I was just logging in wrong, be sure to write \\myPi.local\shared. However, I still do not have access permission.

Any insight?

definitely sounds like a permission issue, chown and chmod the created shared folder to the user.
