Android: SMB credentials not remembered
When supplying a login for SMB, the dialog has the option "remember password". Even when ticking this option, when browsing a protected SMB share without anonymous access, I am prompted for credentials at every folder, but the username and password are not pre-filled. Built-in file browser is therefore effectively unusable for SMB shares without anonymous access. (No, enabling anonymous access is not a solution.)
To be clear:
- Browse to a SMB share without anonymous access.
- Login prompt appears. Enter credentials and tick "Remember password".
- Login succeeds. Browse to a subfolder. Expected: Subfolder contents appear.
Actual: Login prompt appears again.
