About going to OS 6, if i increase the RAM to 512MB, it will solve the slow performance?
You can't, since the RAM is soldered into the system board

I'm managing folders with photos and videos insiide, I'm not willing to define file permitions, but folders instead.
I've folder each year, and each months of the year inside.
For instance on Year 2016, I want to have the November month with read/write/delete but the others months no, and everithing inside the same year of 2016!
And to get the more complex:
- User 1: read/write/delete => to November folder
- User 2: read => to all folders
- User 2: read/write/delete => to all folders
One option is to use two shares - "current" which holds a folder for the current month, and "archive" which holds the folders for all previous months (use whatever names you want of course). Set up the share-level permissions to give user 1 full access to current, and read-only access to archive. Set up user-2 to have full access to both shares.
Then you add in a frontview backup job that copies current to archive. Run that manually at the beginning of each month. Then delete "november" from "current" and make a new "December" folder there.
I will try your recomendation and see if it fits to my needs.
It's being difficult ot explain what i'm doind with my NAS, I will give a nother try.

I thought that could change RAM, so OS 6 is to forget.
Your recomendations is the work around that I've at the moment, but I don't like.
It seems that I need to upgrade to a newer machine :-)
thanks for your help

A newer NAS does have better performance and more features than what you have now. I don't think that managing permissions at the sub-folder level is any easier though. The only ways are to right-click from Windows or (for advanced users) access the NAS with ssh and set up access from a linux command line.
