I have Samba/OpenBSD server at university's labs (VLANs, ~100 workstations[win7, win10], ~1k users). There are few readonly shares that are automatically mounted at windows' startup. Users can mount/umount their /homes by "net use..." script (user/pass). They can also access their files over the internet via SFTP. It just works fine, since ~2011.
