Update: I installed 6.3 and had the same issue as previously but this time, turning off sharing, rebooting, turning on sharing and adding the share in the Sharing dialog windows under settings seems to have worked.

@softraid-support Turns out not to be a SoftRaid problem.

After using the Migration Assistant to move to a Mac Studio M1 Pro, the external drives, presented them as options on the network, but provided the following notification when attempting to access them, "The operation can’t be completed because the original item for “mydrivename” can’t be found." After a ton of searching, the ultimate fix was painfully simple

Deselect (uncheck) the File Sharing checkbox under Settings > Sharing for both computers.
Reboot both computers.
Reselect (check) the File Sharing checkbox under Settings > Sharing for both computers.

Fixed and I'm back up and running. Hopefully this will help someone else

Same problem for me on my Mac Studio running SoftRaid 6.3 - even if I add the SoftRaid partition (Raid 5) to the Sharing window, my other Macs on the local network see it, but when I try to open the drive, it reports that "The Operation Can't Be Completed Because the Original Item (name of my SoftRaid Partition) can't be found." I haven't upgraded to Mac OS 12.6 yet. Is any one else having this problem? I'm pulling my hair out.

@endymion

Then this problem must be more complex. I succeeded and a couple users succeeded using the share in System Preferences.

Let me investigate further.

I did try that on 6.2.1 and it didn’t work for me. One interesting observation was that I had first tried sharing though the info dialog for the drive after noticing it wasn’t accessible. I then went to the system preferences sharing and saw two entries for the shared drive. I deleted both then added the share again which didn’t work.

@endymion

There is a solution.

In System Preferences/Sharing, click the + under the sharing pane, to share the SoftRAID volume, as if it were a folder. that will work.

Ok, I'm fine now on 6.2.

Thanks, I have someone in house with a PC who is going to set it up in the next few days.

It did fail from inside my network. I am not trying to access it from outside my network. I didn't try from another MAC. I've attached the support file (from my installation of 6.2; 6.2.1 has been removed from my system). I did try creating a new Sharepoint when I was running 6.2.1 and sharing it but it had the same problem. The sharepoint was on the main Mac drive on my desktop.
