  I was in a similar spot as OP. The only solution that worked was VM - Virtual Machine Manager, with KVM and Samba. Happily using it for more than 6 months now. I wish I hadn't wasted time with Wine (no gripe with the app or the dev team; it just didn't work for the killer app I wanted). YMMV. - Source: Reddit / about 2 months ago
