Any app or service that hasn't been updated to support SMB's very basic security by now - six years since Apple dropped Samba - is woefully obsolete and is not something you should be relying upon. You run it on a Mac to bypass the security features of SMB. And troubleshooting help is limited because professionals are never going to install a kludge like that in production, so few people will have contributed expertise to the community.

It replaces the SMB service on the Mac with a less-secure kludge that doesn't receive periodic updates or patches the way the Mac OS does, it messes up mDNS and can break at any time with an OS update or security update. Does the app just install a recent build of Samba? If so, what's the problem. The old Samba is not a substitute for SMB and can break at any moment. Now it shares out properly to other Macs and RasPis running Kodi. The latest version of Office offers an interface that is optimized for OS X Yosemite, bringing a flatter look, and better integrates Office with. I used SMBup to straighten out my shares. Microsoft has released a preview of Office 2016, which you can download from the Office Web site (a 2.66GB download) and install on any Mac that supports it.
