Hello dschwartzer,
So, I had to take a look again at the screenshot you sent, xxxx.xxxxxx@gmail.com is a ReadyCloud user I think and that has home share where Pictures folder is and Ordination subfolder is inside Photos. Have you checked if you will get the same results when you move the Ordination folder to the same directory level of Pictures?
There is no really setting on the NAS admin page for subfolder of home shares so it is something that you might need to check in the security and permission settings of the subfolder, I don't know how it is done on Mac, honestly. I hope someone would chime in to share.

The folder at issue called Ordination contains one photo and two sub-folders. The sub-folders contain all of the photos.
I copied the entire Irdination folder from the Home > Photos share to the main Photos share.
In the Home > Photos share, the Ordination folder is still frayed out in the Finder by in the main Photos share, the Ordination folder and the 2 sub folders are fully accessible via the Finder.
Hope that helps.

Hello dschwartzer,
I think it may have something to do with the permission of the files and subfolder since they were from a Home share which is a personal share of one of the users.
Do you have a local user name Photos? Normally, the homes shares are named after the local user name and these home shares are in Home share when you get to admin page > Shares or access the NAS shares and get to Home share using admin account.

I'm afraid I wasn't very clear when I tried to expalin this.
No, there is no local user called Photos. What I was trying to explain was that there is a sub-folder in MY Home directory. The path should have said
Home > xxxx.xxxxxx@gmail.com > Photos. The Folder Ordination is inside the Photos folder, which is inside my personal Home folder.
I can also tell you that there is another sub folder within my personbal Photos folder and that one is fully accessible from the Finder.
Does that explain it better?
