Service: datasync · 2026-07-29 · Documentation low

File: datasync/latest/userguide/create-smb-location.md

Summary

Minor rewording of agent requirement guidance without functional changes.

Security assessment

Simplifies language about agent usage without security implications.

Evidence

To set up this kind of transfer, you create a [location](./how-datasync-transfer-works.html#sync-locations) for your SMB file server. You can use this as a transfer source or destination. Use the agent that corresponds to your desired task mode.
