When i add a PST file in outlook it shows can not dopy/download as media is write protected.
Is the volume marked as "Read Only" in the volumes tab of the NAS Web UI?
I suggest downloading the full log zip from the logs page.
If the issue is the NAS, then do NOT reboot it. Instead, back up as much of the data as you can (starting with irreplaceable personal documents). If the volume is Read Only, then your data is at risk, so you need to be very careful on how you proceed.
