You can also access the Alibaba Cloud SMB file storage from your own IDCs using the private lines or VPNs.  • Each mount point only provides one "share" named "myshare" for the UNC access. You can visit it at "\\mount_point\myshare". For more information about the mounting method, see the Help documentation. • Supports the Apsara-based high-availability and high-reliability distributed system, with the SLA consistent with the NFS.  Applicable to: The SMB protocol is a better option for Windows clients, because Windows versions have better support for the SMB protocol.
