Sometimes shares do not show up in windows and you have to manually find them. This is not obvious for all users.

Samba Manage your Home Assistant and custom add-ons over Samba. true

This add-on allows you to set up a Samba server to access Hass.io folders using Windows network shares.

Be careful when setting up port forwarding for remote access. If you don't restrict access by setting a username and strong password, your configuration could be exposed to the entire Internet!

Sometimes shares will not show up under network in Windows. Then you could open the file browser, click the address field where it says "> Network" and type //HASSIO to access Hass.io shares.
