I can not access any shared external drive on my new M1 Mac. The drives are visible, and the internal drive can be accessed over the network.
This is what I get:
I erased the drive and created a new apfs volume just for this, but still fails.
I have tried rebooting, disconnecting the drive and reconnecting. Access via guest, and as a user on the system. All get the same error.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I noticed that I could not delete any files in my home directory even though ls -l showed the permissions were fine.
Someone else had the same issue after migrating Mac to Mac and what they did was migrate from a time machine backup.
I did that and now I have full access.
However, that did not change mounting external drives.
I did notice something strange in that the shared folder is not marked in get info:
I tried selecting it and it turns on. But another get info on the drive shows that it is still off. This seems like a clue to me, if only I wasn't so clueless ... ;-)
Hmm, I'd remove if from File Sharing then try to add it again if you've erased it.
Tried that and it didn't help.
Unable to mount shared external drive
