I declared my cifs shares like this in the past:

```auto
volumes: 
  cifs-volume:
    driver_opts:
      type: cifs 
      o: username=youruser,password=yourpassword,uid=1021,gid=100,vers=3.0
      device: //192.168.x.y/share/subfolder

```

The permissions of your cifs user will be mapped against the uid and gid on your docker host and will have the same uid/gid inside the container.

I don’t recall the reason, but I eventually replaced all my cifs shares with nfsv4 shares.
