Cannot open folder on NAS from windows PC "semaphore"???

 

One of the Windows 10 PCs that is connected to the readyNAS (192.168.0.8) cannot open random folders...so I let one just sit and after a very long time i got this error.  SEMAPHORE?  that's the way you communicate on a runway at an airport with flags in your hands...

 

Good lord....?  Oh, all the other folders around that ONE  "Marketing.." folder?  they CAN get into...and trhey could get into that fodler on the old Windows 2008 server that I ust moved these files from this past weekend.  What is going on...?

    What firmware are you running?

     

    Have you tried copying the marketing folder to another folder on the NAS?

      I copied the folder right beside itself last night.  renamed the old one "old..." and I'm going to see if that fixed it.  Strange since these users can get into the other folders IN that main folder...just not that one....
