This article is about setting up a NAS (Network Attached Storage) using a Raspberry Pi. The author explains how to install and configure Samba, a file sharing service, on the Raspberry Pi. They also provide instructions on how to map the network drive on a Windows computer.

After downloading with Aria2, you need to remove it, otherwise the Raspberry Pi's 16GB SD card + 32GB USB drive will be full in no time. Here I use Samba.

Installation:

sudo apt -y install samba

Create a new Samba user "pi" (you can customize the username) and set a password:

sudo smbpasswd -a pi

Edit /etc/samba/smb.conf and add:

[storage]
    # Description
    comment = Jason Storage
    # Path to shared files
    path = /mnt/downloads
    # Visible resource name (not content) that can be seen by others
    browseable = yes
    # Writable
    writable = yes
    # New file permission is 664
    create mask = 0664
    # New directory permission is 775
    directory mask = 0775

Restart the service:

sudo systemctl restart smbd.service

In Windows' "Map Network Drive", enter \\<Raspberry Pi's IP>\storage.

Now editing files on the Raspberry Pi is just like editing local files on Windows.
