There is usually no such thing, so you have to create them on a per-user basis via the terminal. It seems to help nailing macOS 12 Monterey to SMB2 – at least temporarily, until another solution is found. So I have understood the solution at that time and can now say: Yes, it still seems to be the problem mentioned – and if you are absolutely dependent on access via SMB, let me tell you, that there is a workaround. This in turn led me to wonder if it was a similar problem as acted then. Until the update is available, users can use http: //fritz.nas or the FTP protocol e.g. AVM will enable the setup again with an upcoming FRITZ! OS update. Due to an error in the negotiation of the SMB connection, the storage (NAS) cannot be set up as a network drive on computers with macOS 12 or later. I did a little research at AVM and found it – this time communicates you actually think there are problems. As I said – I ran into the problem again. There was no such real communication back then, but AVM patched so little by little all FRITZ! Boxesto fix the SMB problem.

At that time, access via SMB was also unsuccessful. That reminded me of an “earlier” problem that the AVM FRITZ! Box had with its predecessor, macOS Big Sur. Now macOS 12 Monterey is out and access to a FRITZ! Share via SMB did not work for me – only FTP access was possible. Some boxes have internal storage, but in general you actually connect a hard drive via USB, which you can then integrate via FTP or SMB in Windows Explorer, in the macOS Finder and in other apps. AVM allows its FRITZ! Boxes to function as a server.
