https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/2023

ubuntu 21.10, GNOME 40.4.0

described here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/229870/why-cant-i-get-
to-a-shared-folder-from-windows

killed me all day today until finding the top answer there, which solved
it.

i tried settings/media sharing.  i could not see the indicated
directories on my LAN from a mac.  (BUG 1)

i right-clicked a directory that was supposed to be shared by that setting 
(/home/username/Videos/), clicked "local network share", enabled sharing and 
allowing guest access.  this brought up a dialog to install samba which i 
agreed to.
i still could not see the directory from the mac.  (BUG 2)

only once i spent all day googling and finally found the askubuntu
solution did i figure out the problem -- "other users" needs execute
permission on all directories above the shared directory all the way
down to the root.  /home/username/ does not have that permission.  you
need to set it if someone sets sharing with guest access on any
descendant of a home directory.

now if i don't set guest access, my ubuntu username/pw are rejected when
trying to log in from the mac -- i think there is some samba
configuration necessary and you need to set up remote access for
credentials that have local access whenever someone says they want
sharing.  (BUG 3)

lastly, i get file transfers of 8MB/s when i push to the server from the
mac.  but when i pull from the mac on the server, i only get 3MB/s.
(BUG 4)  i know this probably isn't your fault, but can you direct me to
how i should investigate why this is?  i don't know where to even start
with it -- would it be two different versions of samba on the two
different machines?
