Generally /home holds an individual users files<br />
<br />
you may wish to make a 3 gb shared folder<br />
it could be /samba<br />
or you could place it in /home/samba/shared

I'd store the Samba data in /home. By default each user's home dir will be available via Samba and if you need &nbsp;any other Samba shares they could be created in /home also.
