At present on Sequoia 15.2 though that is evident on earlier variations.
Abstract: Finder’s leftmost column which usually shows a number of helpful folders and any mounted drives additionally reveals SMB servers current on the networks. Utilizing them ends in failure.
Element:
Freshly booted methods.
Finder -> Go -> Connect with a Server…
Enter server deal with: smb://servername/sharename
Click on Join
Pop up asks to attach as a visitor or registered person
Choose Registered Person and enter account and password
Finder opens it within the finder window with the share seen.
From right here I can open recordsdata, create new folders and drag stuff into the window to repeat it…
So all appears fairly regular and okay to this point…
Let’s navigate to a different folder now – possibly my Dwelling folder, or my Paperwork folder. It does not matter what… That is okay too.
However… Now I wish to return to the community share.
In finder window, within the leftmost pane, below areas I can see the server is mounted and there is an eject icon subsequent to it.
If I click on on server.mydomain.com then the finder window reveals an empty window with ‘Connection Failed’ on the prime and a Join As… button.
Clicking on the Join As… button causes the finder window to navigate again my ‘My MacBook Professional’ fairly than attempt to join.
The one means again to the share is to navigate to /Volumes/Sharename which reveals that it’s mounted appropriately and is accessible.
So why cannot I exploit the shortcuts within the leftmost pane in Finder?
On my community, the servers are a Synology NAS operating newest firmware and a Raspberry Pi with present Bookworm Pi OS and Samba.
