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
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?
Same shares with same credentials work perfectly from windows PC
Have you tried removing any restriction on the shares and set it to "Allow anonymous access" and check if you could access it via Root Explorer/ES Explorer?
I just tried anonymous access through ES File Explorer and I ensured all permissions for all users incl anonymous access to SMB Network and File Access in NAS
Same result as above
Things were working before the update I even uninstalled completely Android app and installed again, configured from scratch, same result
PC access works. I know well how to setup permissions and access rights
ES file explorer is accessing my RN102 with SMB over wifi with no problem. Files are visible, and download/open.
ES File Explorer is version 3.2.5.1 I used the NAS "admin" and did not select "anonymous access".
The RN102 is running 6.2.4. The share network access has "everyone" and "admin" with read/write access and anonymous access enabled. File access has folder owned by admin/admin, "grant rename...' is checked, and folder owner/group/everyone has full access. SMB Plus is installed, but I have never used it to adjust the protocol.
In fact, accessing as admin user works. No need to enable anonymous access or extra large permissions. However, this is still a bug in my eyes. Why only admin has proper access through SMB in Android? Why are other users blocked. I need selective shares access just like it is supposed to be.
From windows, my users have ro and rw access as configured. Only from Android it seems broken. It was also working previously in OS 4.x
One of the shares: name: backup Network Access services: smb Network Access Security for SMB: admin r/w, jerome r/w, mary ro, anonymous off File Access: owner (jerome), folder group (users), File Access (Security): folder owner r/w, jerome r/w, mary ro, Grant rename and delete... unchecked
What's not mentioned is unchecked
Basically, in group users, I only need specific users to have r/w access (jerome), specific users have ro (mary) and others no access On PC window 7, it works as expected, not on Android where I must be logged as admin to the share
