Some points must be clarified in order to understand how a sharing works.
Difference between users and devices
The MyCrypNet access ensures the authentication of a device on a MyCrypNet network, it does not ensure the authentication of a user.
In order to share files, you must also have a way to authenticate the user who uses the MyCrypNet access.
SMB provides a way to authenticate users.
Difference between files sharing servers and clients
A file sharing made by SMB is a client/server architecture.
Some devices will store, check the authentication and distribute the files over the MyCrypNet network through their MyCrypNet access. They are the files sharing servers.
Some devices will just ask for a file through their MyCrypNet access over the MyCrypNet network and send the credentials needed for the files server to check the user identity. They are the files sharing clients.
