alt Hacker NewsDoes the mac still lack a SMB/CIFS browser?
I was shocked years ago that the mac, famous for its early network peer discovery and zeroconf and all, couldn't present a list of SMB servers and shares despite that kind of function being around forever on every other platform in existence.

Must have been a lot of years ago since Samba was introduced in Jaguar (2002), and SMB replaced AFP as the default for file sharing as of Mavericks (2013).

It's had it since before version 10.4, though it wasn't fantastic, I'll give you that.
macOS has a Network location in the sidebar that will show other SMB devices discovered on the network.
