Are you always logging in as david? If you are using another name when accessing other shares, I believe including anonymous access, Windows does not allow you to use a different user name for any share on the NAS. Try using the NAS IP instead of NasServer, as Windows will consider that a different device.
- I always use IP to access the shared folder. If I logged as David, all shared folders that David has permission (Read/Write) are accessible normally. These shared folders are not accessible anonymously. So user david is logged successfully on the Nas Server. But the problem is only the personnal folder \\IP. Adress\david is not accessible by david. And it's all users who had the same problems.

I suggest that you download the log zip file, and look for authentication errors in smbd.log.
Users are logged successfully, because all users can access other shared folder. For example, david can access the shared folder Finance with his credential because he have a write access with this share.
