That would be one of the factors that could be in play YES! I havent accessed these folders until now since this upgrade..

I'm not a Mac owner, but from what I've read on this, Apple has removed the SMB 1 protocol that your NAS uses from Catalina (Microsoft is also deprecating SMB 1). So if you are using SMB to access the shares in Finder, you might need to go back to AFP (enabling it for the NAS shares of course).

So i assume you mean go into the Netgear Console and check the box for AFP? If so, I have done that. The folders I referred to below still show as a command prompt to open. Anything else you can suggest? Feel free to ask other questions.
