Mounting/connecting to windows smb share

[vail3r]

I have a windows computer that I use for Plex and want to be able to use it as a NAS from my MacBook.

I've connected to it as a SMB share and it shows up, works.. however there are a few niggles. New files don't show up for a while and when I delete a file from my Mac, it still shows up for a while even though it has been deleted.

Also I have to reconnect to it manually each time.

Just wondered if there is a better way to connect/do something different or is this just how it works?

I use Automounter to connect to SMB shares on my NAS. It works really well, I have conditions set so that if I'm not connected to my WiFi, it won't try and connect and if I can't ping the NAS, it won't try and connect.

I posted about it here with pictures and stuff

Thank you! Will give that a go
