I mistakenly tried it on the wrong NAS (one still running 6.6.0) and thought it worked (using path=%2Fapps). You are right, that doesn't work on 6.6.1 but did on 6.6.0. But the fact that it ever worked was likely a bug.

Just tried it that way. I get my directory tree to the left, and the browse area to the right is empty.

I was able to get in through windows by changing my credintals. Hopefully it wasn't a bug before and is now. It was easier before if something needed to be moved into or out of an app folder to go through the browser interface then changing the windows credintals.

  Hi what credentials do you need to use to see the .apps folder.?

    If you use NAS admin credentials, you can access the full data volume using SMB/CIFS.
    
    For instance, with Windows CMD
    
    net use * /delete
    
    net use t: \\nas-name\data /user:admin nas-admin-password
    
    .apps is a hidden folder in the data volume root. (drive letter t: in the above example).
