[SOLVED] adding SMB/CIFS W11 shared folder as storage into PROXMOX web UI not working

Dear comunity. Can't figure how to export a simple backup.

Using Proxmox Virtual Environment 8.2.2, making a backup of a machine at local storage. Meanwhile in my laptop, configuring a shared folder ("C:\Users\Public\prox" which translates to "IP\prox") and adding a local user to use in the VE configuration.

Going into "Datacenter" - "Storage" - "Add" - "SMB/CIFS" Filling all parameters (even getting shares from my laptop listed in "share" parameter). After configuring everything i just get:

create storage failed: mount error: Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) and kernel log messages (dmesg) (500)

And when i take a look in "system log":

Jun 23 12:23:41 VSC001 kernel: CIFS: Attempting to mount //192.168.5.248/prox
Jun 23 12:23:41 VSC001 kernel: CIFS: VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -13

Solution was manually adding user to shared settings and security settings in the windows GUI and folder options
