You could hide all folders (browsable->no). The specific user needs to know the name of the share to mount it.
The other way is to keep all shares visible but set strict permissions.
I prefer strong permissions.
You could try
hide unreadable = yes
in configuration.

Can you tell me where it is. I can't find it, sorry i'm still a beginner
hide unreadable = yes
should be set in Samba main configuration, in the last field "Extra Options" or so.

I tried but it didn't work and i don't know why ?
as ryecoaaron and subzero79 said: this option hides only subfolders within a share for which the particular user has no permissions.
Stick to the permission settings; your users will see all shares, but can only access the ones they have appropriate permissions for.
If you really want to hide a share, you have to hide it from all users with
browsable = no
The share can still be mounted by users with appropriate permissions, but it will no longer show up in your network. The user needs to know the exact name of the share to mount it.
Yes that is just what i want so how do i find that hidden folder? it's my last question.
You can't browse the folder directly.
On a Windows machine, go to Computer/Workplace -> Add network location or map network drive -> provide path to your share.
should be something like this:
\\ip_of_your_nas\share
Example:
\\192.168.1.1\music
You probably see your NAS in network places, but can't see the share. Just add a backslash and the name of the particular share.
Thank you so much, you saved my life
U R welcome!
Hi, try
"access based share enum = yes" in extra options That will work
Regards
