Under kde neon. dolphin 16.12.2. I expect when i right click > properties for there to be a sharing tab. But its not there on any of my machines running kde neon. I have samba installed.
ok i found i need to install: kdenetwork as well as samba a few issues with the sharing under kde via dolphin: - can create a share only after changing permissions > others > can view & modify content - then the share doesn't actually work across the network - the settings in the share tab are about 9 attempts out of 10 not saved Overall its a very broken mess at the moment. Would love to see this better supported.

But you can hardly blame Dolphin or the KIO side for that. You need to set the right permissions and have a properly configured system. In general, if you have that, it works just fine. If it doesn't then your config is messed up. Just having samba installed isn't enough. You need to have it enabled as well. For instance, follow this: http://tutorialforlinux.com/2016/06/06/easy-file-sharing-with-smb-quickstart-on-kubuntu-16-04-xenial-lts-linux/ If you're not happy about the config options in dolphin for samba, use some other graphical tool. Closing this issue as it's just complaints. Not a bug report. If you have an actual bug, feel free to report it. If you have a wish, feel free to report it as well but only one per issue please.
