Hi @Larry_Basham,

We do not offer phone support but we would be more than happy to assist you right here on the Community website.

When we resolve issues on Community, it ensures that our entire team has access to the discussion and can weigh in as needed. This means that not only can our support team contribute, but so can our QA team, developers, and senior staff.

As for this issue in particular, can you provide some more information?

  1. What operating system are you using for your Core?

  2. Is the drive connected directly to the Core or to the Mac PC?

  3. What is the model/manufacturer of the external drive? I know you mentioned it is an OWC drive, but what is the model/specs?

  4. Can you share a screenshot of your sharing settings and advanced options? This is the Mac sharing guide for reference, and the screenshots would something look like this:

Ha, I figured it out, it was a permission issue. Client wasn’t giving me the correct info for his mac sign in. Thanks
