Hi,

I've enabled file sharing and selected only 1 folder I want to share on my Mac Mini.
Then I've connected to the SMB file server using my iPhone and using credentials that I use normally to login to my Mac.

The issue is that it shows all kind of partitions, external disks etc.

Why is that?

I'm on Sonoma.
 
Almost certainly: The credentials you are using when connecting are for a user which is an administrator on the Mac Mini. Administrators have access via SMB to all volumes - just as they would when login in locally.

If that is annoying, you should create a non administrator user and allow that user access to only the one share.
