Unable to connect to local Fedora Samba share. What am I doing wrong?

New to networking. Created a samba share in Fedora Server. This samba share is supposed to connect to a raid0 pool (2x4TB WD Red) that I created. The mount point of the raid0 pool is /raid0pool. The share file is set to be /raid0pool/raid0share

But, I am unable to connect from other local machines, including Windows 10 and Fedora Workstation. On windows 10 client I have tried entering connection addresses such as \\192.168.5.207, \\192.168.5.207\raid0share\, and \\192.168.5.207\raid0pool\raid0share. No luck at all. On Fedora workstation client I have entered in addresses such as smb://192.168.5.207/raid0share amd smb://192.168.5.207/raid0pool/raid0share with no luck. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you for any feedback.

EDIT edit smb.conf the samba share time to 'raid0share' as opposed to 'share' to reflect feedback. However, connection issue still persists

Included is the set of commands I used to set up samba, as well as my smb.conf file
