Is it possible to configure a Samba share via the GUI under KDE and how does kdenetwork-filesharing work under Jessie?

Question

linux

For myself, I would just write everything in smb.conf by hand, but my operator can only work with a mouse and my task is to give him the opportunity to configure the balls on his own. In theory, there exists for this kdenetwork-filesharing, it is present in Jessie, it is set normally, in Dolphin the "Make General" tab appears in the directory properties (yes, the Russian locale), but all the settings made there are not saved anywhere, nothing is written in smb.conf, after reloading, all fields are clear again, and, of course, no balls (except for $IPC and $print) are open anywhere.
All manuals kdenetwork-filesharingare about Kubuntu, not a word about pure Debian.
I did the simplest things, like adding $USER to the sambashare group and adding wins to nsswitch.conf and smb.conf, of course.
Questions:

1. Why does Jessie need a really non-working package kdenetwork-filesharing?
   
2. Or how to make it work?
   
3. Is what I'm after at all possible?
   

Answer 1

1. kde is a crooked craft, like all software with the letters k and g at the beginning of the name
2. apt-get remove --purge kde* kdenetwork-filesharing
3. there is a good webui for samba, I don’t remember the name exactly (

Answer 2

Helped:

export USERSHARES_DIR="/var/lib/samba/usershare"
export USERSHARES_GROUP="sambashare"
sudo mkdir -p ${USERSHARES_DIR}
sudo groupadd ${USERSHARES_GROUP}
sudo chown root:${USERSHARES_GROUP} ${USERSHARES_DIR}
sudo chmod 1770 ${USERSHARES_DIR}

In /etc/samba/smb.conf underneath [global] enter this:
usershare path = /var/lib/samba/usershare
usershare max shares = 100
usershare allow guests = yes
usershare owner only = False

Add yourself to the group with the following or use Kuser:
usermod -a -G ${USERSHARES_GROUP} your_username
