how to add shared Storage to windows VMs

[Azunai]

Hello everyone,
i have 1 Disk where proxmox is installed on and another Raid 1 mounted as /data on the host
I'd like to give my 2 windows VMs read &write access to that raid / a folder on it.
I'v read a few articles on sharing disks beween VMS, though it seems like there are various solutions and i realy dont know what would be a good one for my scenario?

You could manually (CLI) install a SMB server on your host and share a folder on your Raid1 that way. So your VMs could access the folders as a network share.

Is there no built in option to share a host folder to the guests?

Not for VMs i think.

Do you know if there is some proxmox magic that makes this harder than i thought?

i installed a samba server with this config

[global]
workgroup = smb
security = user
map to guest = Bad Password
bind interfaces only = yes
interfaces = lo vmbr0

[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browsable = no
read only = no
create mode = 0750

[public]
path = /data/storage/
public = yes
writable = yes
comment = smb share
printable = no
guest ok = yes

vmbr0 is the is a NAT setup with ip 10.10.10.1
VMS do have 10.10.10.2 + 3

though from within my VM i can not access the share via that IP, what am i missing?
proxmox firewall settings are default
