Hi
Thanks for your reply
Unfortunatly that did not do the trick.
I see the share in windows, I can open it; but the folder it should download is not accessable.
The funny thing is; after that did not work; I also checked" Set ownership and permission for existing files and folders to the above settings. This option is ueful in cases where you are changing security level and you need to workaround files access problems".
This then works for all excisting folders. But after I make new ones; I need to do that again.That is not a desired option.
Did you ever came across this issue? Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong? Any help is appreciated.

Or is my NAS software broken.:smileyfrustrated:

If resetting the ownership worked, then that means then the issue is definitely linked to ownership.
Did you try setting "Do not allow ACL changes to be more restrictive than this." on the advanced permissions page?
Also, is this happening with one of the NAS default shares, or is this a share you created?
There is a simple work-around - that is to create a credential for the NAS in the windows credential manager. For instance, use admin for the log-on (and the NAS admin password for the password).

Hi
Due to busy times on work I did not have a chance to try the solutions posted. My apologies
The issue is for both the pre instaleld shares as the newly created. As said I can enter the share but the folders created within the shares are not accessable.
The "Do not allow ACL changes to be more restrictive than this" did not fixed the issue
Strangely enough; the credential manager does not solve it. Probably because the share is (ans was) accessable; but not the creates sub folder.
The folders are created by SABNZBD. Could that have something to do with it?

Did you try resetting the owner/group and permissions using the advanced options tab for the share?
Select the checkbox, and appl (bottom right). The checkbox will clear immediately, and after a while there will be a popup telling you that the resetting is complete.
