How can i mount a share with different credentials .... macOS

that’s an interesting way to do it. if that means it would connect to the shares via the vpn that exists for my mycloud.com account. i say interesting because when i travel, i would still have access to the share using the finder (file explorer on macOS), if i understood correctly.

No, I think you misunderstood me; I was talking about local access. But if you have your own VPN setup, it should let you access your local network when working remotely, I think.

this is odd, because when im in windows, i have successful mapped shares of both the public and the private, where each has it’s own unique credentials

IME, that is very much not the case, and Windows expressly does not allow network drive mapping with different credentials; see the second paragraph of the error message here:

New user - creating shares

Wow Bennor, you are very knowledgable, thanks! You convinced me that I should set up a non-public folder and make it private - which I did. But now it won’t let me open the folder, even when I’m the admin. Here’s the error: [image] What am I doing wrong? Brooks
