Unable to write to smb share

My file server has smb enabled. Bazzite picks it up right away and I'm able to read from it but if I try to write to it I get a permisison error. I don't see any options for specifying my username and password that has write permission for share. How can I enable write on the smb share in Bazzite?

Added it but still no prompt. Still able to access it like it is a guest user with read-only access. My file server is Unraid 7.0.

Correct, I was able to access it properly on my macbook. It doesn't save the password in the string. It resets it to username@ip.

try typing it manually in the url bar

Still access denied for writing and the url bar does the same with dropping the password.

That works. I was able to create a new directory as well. Weird dolphin isn’t letting me
