Cannot Access Media folder from Windows 7 x64
Hi, I have read most of the threads about this issue, I am on Firmware 4.2.19. From Windows 7 I cannot access through explorer to the media folder (It works via http) but I can access the backup ...

At some point (around 4.2.19 upgrade) I actually deleted the media folder and recreated it with the permissions I wanted. I don't recall the details of the symptoms though.
When comparing https and cifs directories, Keep in mind that sparc-based Readynas (duo v1 and nv+ v1) only list files < 4 GB over https.
I am also wondering if you have Media and media both set up as share names???? In any event, if you believe you have a "hidden" media file in addition to the normal one, you should probably open a support ticket.
I have CIFS, NFS, FTP, HTTP/S and RSYNC enabled, and use the settings below with a Duo v1, and NV+ v1 and a Pro 6. No issues with my win7 professional 64 bit accessing the shares.
