Accessing files after drag and drop
Hi,
Hopefully an easy question to answer...
If I use the web interface and drag files onto that to put files on my ReadyNas I find that external devices (such as my TV) can access them no problem.
However, if I drag the files into a folder using Windows Explorer I can't access them until I use the web interface to change something (like maybe change the folder or file name etc.). Once I've done this, I can access the files. IT's obviously some sort of permissions issue but there are so many permissions, I really don't know which ones to change to allow access once the files are there.
What amI doing wrong?
Thanks, in advance!

What firmware is running on the NAS?
Do your other devices use an NAS username/password when they access the files?
Also if you tell us what settings you are using for the share (file access and network access), that would help.
If you have enough posts, you can insert a screenshot via the "photos" icon on the toolbar. If not, you could put screenshots in google drive, dropbox, etc. and post a link to them. That's often quicker than trying to type the settings.
