+# SMB
+
+**Synced folder type:** `smb`
+
+Vagrant can use [SMB](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Message_Block)
+as a mechanism to create a bi-directional synced folder between the host
+machine and the Vagrant machine.
+
+SMB is built-in to Windows machines and provides a higher performance
+alternative to some other mechanisms such as VirtualBox shared folders.
+
+
+
+ Windows only! SMB is currently only supported
+ when the host machine is Windows. The guest machine can be Windows
+ or Linux.
+
+
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+To use the SMB synced folder type, the machine running Vagrant must be
+a Windows machine. In addition to this, the command prompt executing Vagrant
+must have administrative privileges. Vagrant requires these privileges in
+order to create new network folder shares.
+
+The destination machine must be able to mount SMB filesystems. On Linux
+the package to do this is usually called `smbfs` or `cifs`. Vagrant knows
+how to automatically install this for some operating systems.
+
+## Options
+
+The SMB synced folder type has a variety of options it accepts:
+
+* `smb_host` (string) - The host IP where the SMB mount is located. If this
+ isn't specified, Vagrant will attempt to determine this automatically.
+
+* `smb_password` (string) - The password used for authentication to mount
+ the SMB mount. This is the password for the username specified by
+ `smb_username`. If this is not specified, Vagrant will prompt you for it.
+ It is highly recommended that you do not set this, since it would expose
+ your password directly in your Vagrantfile.
+
+* `smb_username` (string) - The username used for authentication to mount
+ the SMB mount. This is the username to access the mount, _not_ the username
+ of the account where the folder is being mounted to. This is usually your
+ Windows username. If this isn't specified, Vagrant will prompt you for
+ it.
+
+## Example
+
+The following is an example of using SMB to sync a folder:
+
+
+Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
+ config.vm.synced_folder ".", "/vagrant", type: "smb"
+end
+
+
+## Limitations
+
+Because SMB is a relatively new synced folder type in Vagrant, it still
+has some rough edges. Hopefully, future versions of Vagrant will address
+these.
+
+The primary limitation of SMB synced folders at the moment is that they are
+never pruned or cleaned up. Once the folder share is defined, Vagrant never
+removes it. To clean up SMB synced folder shares, periodically run
+`net share` in a command prompt, find the shares you don't want, then
+run `net share NAME /delete` for each, where NAME is the name of the share.
