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)...

Don't repair it. Go to Device Manager and "Uninstall" it. Then scan for new hardware. It's quick and works fine with permissions restored.
What is the 'it' you refer to? I assume the r7000 router in my case, but want to be sure. And should I try that with both computers on the network?
Getting real freaking sick of having to constantly unplug and let my PC do it's thing then plug in back in and do the checks in the advanced section of the settings.
I bought the damned thing to use, not to have to admin the damned thing every other 2 or 3 weeks!
