R7000 NAS Drive Can't Delete Files Folders Permissions Issue User \ Nobody
I have the R7000 with a Seagate STBV4000100 4TB USB 3.0 drive connected. I can connect to it just fine, drive shares work etc. From a WIN 7 64bit OS system using windows explorer I can create folders...
After a few reformats of the drive, it worked for me. The files on the eSata drive are exactly like the "standard" Windows Explorer. I can save, load, delete, change properties etc... Since it worked, I had to power down the router once, and after a restart, nothing had changed. Everything still working. (except the bad 5G wifi, and the "freaky" interface, but that was like before)...
Well, I have this same problem on the N750 (DGND4000). That is, I am unable to delete files that were on my READYSHARE USB portable hard drive when I plugged it into the router.. I am WIN8.1 and thought it was a network permissions issue. The error message says "You require permission from READYSHARE\root to make changes to this file." OK, fair enough. So in File Explorer you can right click the highlighted file and select the Security tab. You will see that the file has only Read & execute & Read permissions allowed. So you can put a check mark in "Full control". There are 2 ways to do this. Push the Edit button or Advanced button. Bottom line is this: You can set Full control (which does enable file deletion.) HOWEVER, as soon as you press the Apply button, the Full controls are immediately erased and you revert to the original states. Note: I have administer privileges. Still doesn't work.
