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 I can only browse folders, but I cannot list the file they contain. Files in root of the share are listed, but not downloaded. Basically, I can browse through folder structure but I cannot list any file.
ES File Explorer gives an error when accessing folders from share root: insufficient permissions
Same shares with same credentials work perfectly from windows PC
Any fix to this?

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

- I am not a Root Explorer user... however, just want to ask if you are using the latest version via Google Play (çoz I know its not for free)? or did you just download an apk file from a certain website?
Are you also using the latest version of ES File Explorer (this one is free via Google Play)?
Have you also tried using other Android phone (same or different model) to isolate the problem?
