If you've come to share your knowledge of your favourite pies, this is not that type of post

As this place is a fountain of knowledge, I thought I'd try here as I've not had any luck yet from dedicated forums.
I've set up a Plex and NAS Server using a Raspberry Pi. I have 2 NAS drives attached via USB. They are both mounted to the pi and Plex can see them. I want to map them to my laptop so I can transfer films to them without having to physically connect to my computer. Unfortunately, I'm only able to map one of the drives. The second one is proving to be a pain in the arse.
Can anybody help?

Apologies I thought the thread was about fruit till I opened it. 🍓🤷‍♂️
 
From my mate who is a genius.

Yes I know what the issue is, it's to do with samba protocol security, a common problem. Samba is what Linux (and the pi) used to do file sharing and Microsoft changed the security settings on windows laptops and causes this issue!

I didn't ask for a solution mind, hopefully that helps.

Thanks for your help. Turns out, that wasn't the problem though.
I finally figured out the problem was that the folder path I wanted to share started with the same name (mnt). Even though I was mapping 2 separate physical drives. A simple change to the mnt folder and I was sorted.

[PlexFilms]
path = /mnt/usb1/shared

[PlexTVSeries]
path = /mnt2/usb2/shared

That means nothing to me; but I'm sure my mate will understand 🤣

Glad you're sorted though.
