those using OSX should try the LibDSM option for
SMB (see settings->services->
smb client)

If your Mac is running 10.11.5 or higher then that option won't make a difference. Libdsm doesn't work with Apple's
SMB flavour until they add support for signatures (unless this has already happened and no one has said anything).
SMBUp is the way to go and I've been using it for years.

Press the button to activate it. If you can't select the button then it's locked so click the unlock button, enter your password, then try the button again to turn it green.

What happens after you enter your password? The lock should open and it makes a little "unlock" sound, then the button can be clicked

Maybe try starting over again? Action > Re-install.
