Files app with SMB null password

[jizzy]

I want to add network storage to the Files app.

When I go select SMB, it comes to this screen and won't let me continue because I need to enter my password. However my password is actually Null (blank) as it's a Windows PC with a local account.

This used to work on my old Samsung phone however it's not working on this one. Why?

You have to enter your username or email address first, then scroll down to enter your password. Once those blanks are filled in, the Add icon should turn to a bold print. Tap Add and continue with what you are working on. Before I respond to or send email, I always have to enter my email address and password before starting. This is mostly for security and privacy.

Hi, any update on this?

The main problem is that the account does not have a password. and the files app does not allow us to press OK unless we type in a password.
