SMB file share button should be available to all chromebook users by default. Some chromebook users may have access to Network File Share for Chrome OS, which is found in the same location as SMB file share. If user has access to that option, user can use that instead of SMB file share if they want and connect to the following paths:
\\myhome.itap.purdue.edu\myhome\username
\\nas01.itap.purdue.edu\puhome
