Describe the bug

Sharing an HDD from its root (like M:) doesn't share any file. I have to specify a folder (M:\Folk for example) to get the file sharing working properly.

So I have to add all folders at the HDD root one by one to share files.

The log console shows:

23:06:42 Rescanning normal shares...
23:06:43 0 folders found before rescan, rebuilding...
23:06:44 0 folders found after rescan

Expected behavior

Adding a HDD root folder shares all its folders and subfolders content.

Steps to reproduce the bug

  • Preferences > Transfers > Shares > Public Shares
  • Click Add... and select a HDD without selecting any of its folders
  • Give a Virtual Name (like Collection) and click OK

File scanning doesn't find any folder.

I wanted to show the process with a gif file but there is too many personnal data on the capture.
