Troubleshooting
On Mac some of the folders on the CUBIC server are hidden. To be able to see them you need to turn on show hidden files on Mac by pressing ⇧⌘. (Shift + Command + Period key)
Please be sure the path used is smb://researchdata2.uct.ac.za/cubic-uct/<scannerfolder> and not \\researchdata2.uct.ac.za\cubic-uct\<scannerfolder>.
MacOS and Linux use forward slashes ( / ) when dealing with file paths and will not connect properly if backslashes ( \ ) are used.
