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)...
The only progress I have made on this problem is as follows.
By the "problem" I mean that when I plugged my portable hard disk drive into the NAS port on the N750 (DGND4000) router, I found I could not delete the files that were already on the router.
I am running WIN8.1.
Usint File Explorer, click on the file you want to delete to select it. Right click it. But do not select Delete. Instead select Properties, then choose the Security tab. If for the items in Group or user names you do not see Full control Allowed, you will not be able to delete the file. Worse yet, you will not be able to set it here for some reason (even as a WIN Administrator).
However, some of my files WERE Allowed Full control. For those fileS I WAS ABLE TO DELETE THEM.
Maybe you will have the same experience.
