# View SMB shares

Network-attached storage is a file-level storage architecture that makes stored data more accessible to networked devices.

## About this task

Server Message Block (SMB) is an access protocol that allows remote file data access from clients to hosts on a network. An SMB share, also known as an SMB file share, is a shared resource on an SMB server.
