Accessing files via remote login
Good morning all!
Hope this should be a quick solution...
I login remotely in to my NAS. I sign in and it will show my file folders but nothing in the file folders when I click on them. I am signing in under a USER which I have given read/write access to the folder in FILE ACCESS as well as NETWORK ACCESS.
When I sign in under ADMIN, I can see all the files in the folders.
I have SMB enabled only.
What am I missing?

Also, If I change the USER to ADMIN group, I can see all the files in the folders. I switch it back and I show FOLDER IS EMPTY.

That did it...I did not want to hit that button in case it reset everything back to defaults. I appreciate the help..
