Saving Microsoft Word files to ReadyNAS from MAC
I have an issue saving Microsoft Word files to the network - every other Office suite app works fine. The only work-around is to save files locally and then move them to the ReadyNAS. Have check...
I had the same "read only" problem with MS Word on Macintosh computers saving to ReadyNAS. I worked with MS support to resolve the problem and came up with 2 work arounds:
1. The problem was isolated to the newest Feb 11, 2020 update to Word for the Mac (16.34). I unistalled this version and installed a previous version (16.27). This solved the problem allowing my Mac to open and save .docx files without going into read only mode.
2. As a previous user responded, another solution is to save the Word files as .doc files instead of .docx.
Here is a link to the previous Mac Word update files:

The version I used can be downloaded from:
I hope this helps.
