I just updated from an iMac to a Mac Studio. I’ve made sure file sharing is set up on the Mac Studio, but none of the drives connected to it are now accessible from the other Macs. They were before. I can see them on the network, but selecting them just shows a folder icon, no contents. How can I resolve this?
Mac Studio
If that is an account on the Studio, and that is the account you used to connect to it, then you will have the same access you would if logged in directly. Anything you’ve done in Sharing may confound that.
There is also privacy restrictions on process access. smbd might need full disk access on the Studio. The smbd process is what actually provides the access, so it would need access to all things you want to see over the network. It may already be in Privacy section of Security & Privacy Settings, Full Disk Access. You may just have to enable it.

I’m the only account and that account is set up in the file sharing options to have read/write permissions on all the drives. The Mac Studio can access the other computers fine, but they can only see the Mac Studio and its drives, with no actual file access.
Do all of the accounts have access to those drives, either by Sharing or actual accounts on the Studio?
Unable to connect to network drives
