If you have configured Kerberos in Jamf Connect, you can also configure a file share menu item. This menu item is added with an additional configuration profile written to the following domain:

com.jamf.connect.shares

Note: Adding multiple shares can make this setting difficult to manage. Testing and deploying a simple configuration profile first is recommended.

The following configuration profile is an example of file share configuration:
