SMB: Browse shares from android broken
Hi, Devices: Ready NAS Ultra 2, OS 6.2.4 Under OS 4, I could access my shares using android Root Explorer or ES File Explorer on my local wifi network With OS6, using Root Explorer, I noticed...
Feedback:
I used the "fix permissions" option and configured again all permissions for each user
This fixed all access issuesSomething must have locked up all permissions, now all is fine since a few weeks
One of the shares:
name: backup
Network Access services: smb
Network Access Security for SMB: admin r/w, jerome r/w, mary ro, anonymous off
File Access: owner (jerome), folder group (users),
File Access (Security): folder owner r/w, jerome r/w, mary ro, Grant rename and delete... unchecked
What's not mentioned is unchecked
Basically, in group users, I only need specific users to have r/w access (jerome), specific users have ro (mary) and others no access
On PC window 7, it works as expected, not on Android where I must be logged as admin to the share
