Opening files APP with SMB URL OK, I have an issue where I want to open an SMB connection in the files app via a webclip pushed out to over 200 iPads with iPadOS installed. I got the path and webclip to work, using smb://username:password@server . This opens the complete URL into safari and then proceeds to open in the files app. I had to screen record as everything flashes really quick but the connection never opens. When looking at the recording, I noticed the connection string in files app has changed to smb://username@server . Missing the password. Is this by design? or am I going the wrong way about this. I just need to automate connection to shares using the native app. 3rd party apps we use do not support SMB2 or 3, so after our upgrade to server 2016 they no longer work (Goodreader, we are looking at you)...... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Problems connecting to shared folders With my iPad or with another Mac I can connect to my Mac Mini (Late 2012, Mojave) shared folders using my Admin credentials without any problem, however when I try to connect with my wife’s standard account credentials, it always says that "access to your account on the server xxxxx has been denied". The credentials are very much correct so that isn’t the problem. I also have a MBP (2015, Mojave) set-up in an identical way to the Mini, and I can connect without problems to both accounts on that machine so the problem manifests itself only when trying to access the Mini. Any suggestion?

Use the Files app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

You’ll need to have an access to SMB server running on your computer or a NAS drive.

Connect to a file server

Open the Browse tab.
Tap More .
Select Connect to Server.
Enter the SMB address.
Tap Connect.
The server name appears under Shared in the Browse menu.
