That is not what the OP wanted: He wants to share is NC data via SMB.
What I read/understand from this is: He wants to create a SMB shared folder from He's NC data (via OMV or whatever) and access it on a different PC.
The NC data will have special permissions that won't move to SMB.
It's true. Unable to access Nextcloud data with samba. But if samba data can be accessed from Nextcloud. It's what I've always said.
Can't speak for Windows, but the Linux client I found pretty easy. I set it up a long time ago then went to rsync. My one issue with it then, is it was repeatedly syncing (probably because of Chrome's .config folder in my home folder). It would sync 100's of times an hour. I was messing with it yesterday and turned off the "Watch" feature, and simply set the server side to "receive only" and client to "send only" and both were set to every 3600sec (4hrs).
Works flawless and I'm actually pretty happy with it. Supports versioning if that's your thing
I may see about implementing it with my remote server when I update/rebuild it to OMV 6. I think it'd be easier to reverse proxy through a domain... but haven't tried that yet.
Interesting info here. A couple of years ago I used Syncthing to keep data on two Macs synced, with no server in between. I guess it would be called point-to-point clients, and it did what I wanted. Then one day “somebody” pushed me over the edge and I converted my Hackintosh into a Linux box, so I didn’t need to keep it in sync with my MacBook.
I don’t remember Syncthing having a watch, receive only, or send only feature. I will have to spin a container up and check it out.
The idea of using Syncthing to reach a remote server with Syncthing on a home server sounds promising for a 1-2-3 backup strategy.

It actually works well..
In the pics below.. White is the client side UI for my laptop, Black is the webUI for my Syncthing docker... this is the pic of the "Advanced" tab on both. Note where the "Folder Type" is.. Your options there are Send & Receive, Send, Receive, Receive Encrypted on both sides. Unchecking the "Watch this" box, and setting a time interval in seconds (I used 3600, so 4hrs). Since I'm backing up my home folder, if you leave "Watch This" checked... it's going to constantly sync to the server... Now this isn't necessarily a bad thing, but on your Home folder in Linux... Where if your surfing the web, your browser cache is changing, updating, etc.. those configuration folders are all in hidden directories in your home folder.. So that will cause repeated syncs to the server and it will literally be syncing nonstop if you so much as go to a website. To me, if you're syncing a Linux client (I don't know about Windows) it makes way more sense to just set a logical time frame, and do one sync. 4hrs seemed like a pretty decent number and it hasn't let me down yet. When I set it up between servers, I'll probably stick w/ a once every 24hr sync.
Note: I'm a dumbass. Should be set to 14,400 for a 4hr check..

By the way, I've heard that "somebody" is a freaking genius!
You can lead a horse to the trough, then hold it's head under water it to make him drink..

LOL, I just realized I did that. Math is hard when you're tired.
Now I feel like a dumbass. My internet is also being super flaky today and it's pissing me off.

Funny in light of what macom just caught.
Well, if you'll trust someone who can't add... lol (still can't believe I did that.. if you knew what a math nerd I was, you'd find it equally as funny... I must have been exhausted when I was doing numbers in my head). I just started messing with ignore patterns on Syncthing.
I added these two rules for both the server side and client side.. (Obviously I'm using Chrome)
/home/ken/.cache/
.config/google-chrome.config/google-chrome on "watch", literally the sync's never stoppedObviously if I'm searching, browsing, etc. that would make sense.
By ignoring it those two, those don't sync. I then set it to watch now on both sides, and it DRASTICALLY reduced the syncing.
