Office is creating those files - not the NAS. The files are often hidden - but they are in the local folders too.

If you google for this, you'll find a lot of folks complaining about tmp files with Microsoft Office, going back at least 10-15 years. That includes more recent posts reporting this with Office365. In some cases, those reports are with network folders, in other cases they aren't. Unfortunately there isn't much posted about how to solve the issue.

One of many, many hits: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/office-2016-creating-visible-tmp-files-for-every/84800885-3f54-4afe-a2f9-e75cb525ad66

But try resetting the file access for the share next.

Ok Thanks for all your responses I have seen this URL already but there is no solution. I have already did uninstall and install office again but same issue. Is there option in NAS to hide tmp file?

No automatic way. It's probably just as effective to simply delete them (perhaps with a script off hours).

And you probably don't want them to be hidden. They'll still build up, but you won't realize it.
