How do I add a subfolder to the Samba / Share folder?

[Lazy_pete]

Hi - one of the integrations I’m using (PV-opt) tries to output Appdaemon logs to Samba/share/logs , which fails as I can’t work out how to create the logs folder.

I can access the Share folder from my Chromebook etc over the network, but adding a folder from there didn’t seem to work.

Any tips as to how to add that subfolder from within Home Assistant ?

Running HASSIO as a virtual Proxmox machine in a miniPC.

Thanks in advance !

if you need to create a folder, you can use visual studio addon to do so and avoid the whole samba mounted folder thing.

but samba should work. many of us use it all the time to read/write to shares. i’ve definitely had some troubles with chromebook, however. you have tried on mac or pc?

in the meantime, try visual studio. once you have it installed, if you right click on the folder/file tree you get this:

use “add folder to workspace” to pick the parent directory. then you can create a new folder in it.

Thanks - I checked with Studio Code Server as suggested and I think the ‘logs’ folder I need is already there, so perhaps resting over Samba worked.

Now I need to workout why PV-opt won’t write to it !
