Able to access samba network but unable to open shared folder

Hi,

I have recently installed Arch after using Manjaro for a year. I have installed samba and made a custom smb.conf for my two external HDD, ran testparm resulting in no errors, restarted smb and nmb service folllowed by enabling them in systemctl and allowed all samba ports through ufw. Now I can see my samba share in my network but cannot open the two external HDD in that network.

Below is the dump of my smb.conf file:

[global]
	server min protocol = SMB2_02
	server role = standalone server
	map to guest = Bad User
	usershare allow guests = yes
	hosts allow = 192.168.0.0/16
	hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0

[Mass Storage]
	comment = 1TB ext hdd
	path = /run/media/ronitb/Mass Storage
	read only = no
	guest ok = yes
	force user = ronitb
	force group = ronitb

[My Passport]
       comment = 2TB ext hdd
       path = /run/media/ronitb/My Passport
       read only = no 
       guest ok = yes
       force user = ronitb
       force group = ronitb

Below is the screenshot which shows that the shared folder list is showing but the files inside them are not accessible (the Mass Storage folder is expanded).
