Hi,

Trying to sync between Linux Mint 22.1 xfce and a Windows share on a remote machine. (see attached screenshot).

Upon clicking the "Analyse" button the displayed warning window pops up, about missing folders - seems to want to add the SMB share as a local folder. If I click on ignore it attamepts to analyse, but doesn't actually see or get to the SMB share folders/directories and ends up showing the entire contents of the local drive needing to be copied to the share.

I've confirmed that the share is visbile and accessible via the file-explorer in Linux.

Am I defining the syntax of the SMB share incorrectly, or making some other obvious mistake?

Cheers,

Mike.
