System files showing in share

I just installed TrueNAS and got the share to show, but it also shows

How do I configure to not show them

Looks like you are inside a home directory. So it's expected to have them there. If you want them to go away, you can change File Explorer config to not show hidden files.

Ohhh man that didn't even occur to me, man what a lamer I am, thanks that was the answer

No problem. Whether a file is visible by default in File Explorer depends on FILE_ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN (attribute in SMB2 GetInfo return). Samba sets FILE_ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN in a variety of circumstances depending on configuration. For instance, if "hide dot files" is set (default), then Unix hidden files (ones beginning with dot ".") have FILE_ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN. If "store dos attributes" is set (also a default), the files will be additionally marked hidden if an SMB client has explicitly set the "hidden" attribute". There are also some legacy non-default behaviors that I won't go into.
