SMB and AFP share for the same folder?

    Hi,


    i am new to OMV and to the world of NAS in general.


    I have one mac and one windows computer. Both are supposed to access a folder on the NAS.


    My first Idea: SMB because it theoretically is supported by both.
    But it turned out that SMB is quite a bit slower on the mac than using an AFP-share for the same folder.


    Is it a bad idea to use AFP and SMB shares for the same folder?


    Thanks in advance

    Nope, it is absolutely fine to use one folder for both services. You can even use it for several other services like FTP as well.


    However - what means "quite a bit slower"? What Mac OS are you using? I´m on El Capitan but do not have speed issues since SMB is the default protocol for Mac.
