 This guide will help you on how to use samba on nixos.
+== Usershares ==
+You can allow some users to share via samba a given directory simply via a right click in their file browser (tested with Dolphin). For that, first add this configuration (make sure to add your user in the samba group):
+{{file|/etc/nixos/configuration.nix|nix|<nowiki>
+{ pkgs, config, ... }: {
+  services.samba = {
+    # The full package is needed to register mDNS records (for discoverability), see discussion in
+    # https://gist.github.com/vy-let/a030c1079f09ecae4135aebf1e121ea6
+    package = pkgs.samba4Full;
+    usershares.enable = true;
+    enable = true;
+    openFirewall = true;
+    };
+  };
+  # To be discoverable with windows
+  services.samba-wsdd = {
+    enable = true;
+    openFirewall = true;
+  };
+  # Make sure your user is in the samba group
+  users.users.YOURUSER = {
+    isNormalUser = true;
+    extraGroups = [ "samba" ];
+  };
+}
+</nowiki>}}
+Then, logout and login (to make sure your group change has been taken into account), open Dolphin, right click on a folder you'd like to share, go to Properties, Tab "Share", and configure it the way you want.
