[Samba] Newbie question: Spaces in share names

[L.P.H. van Belle]

Your walking a thin line here.. 

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/storageservices/naming-and-referencing-shares--directories--files--and-metadata 
Quote : Share names must start with a letter or number, and can contain only letters, numbers, and the dash (-) character. 

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/naming-a-file?redirectedfrom=MSDN 

Not saying its wrong, but your prone to errors.. 
I would not recommend it. 


Greetz, 

Louis
