I have a CIFS share called Volume_1 on my DNS-320L. I've created  anew user called backupuser and in the CIFS settings I have granted read/write access to backupuser. I've also granted read/write to a group called Everything of which backupuser is a member.

No matter from where I map to this CIFS share (on a Windows 10 PC or a Linux PC) I can't get write access. For example, if I try to copy a file into the folder from Windows I get "You need permission to perform this action". Similar from Linux.

No quotas are enabled. Is there something else I need to do to allow this CIFS share to be written to? The NAS is pretty useless without write access!

Actually...might have discovered something. If I mount \\DNS-320L\Volume_1\Backups I can't get write access. But if I mount \\DNS-320L\Volume_1 I can get write access. Why is that?

Link>Welcome!

• What Hardware version is your DNS? Look at the sticker behind or under the device.
• Link>What Firmware version is currently loaded? Found on the DNSs web page under status.
• What region are you located?

Possible the share folder doesn't have any permissions set?
How do you have the permissions and folders configured?

I think I've solved the write permissions issue. My directory structure was \Volume_1\Backups and I was mounting \Volume_1\Backups. However, I hadn't set the write permissions properly on the Backups directory, so even though Volume_1 was writeable, Backups wasn't which is why I was being denied write access.

To set write permissions on Backups I went into My Files on the web admin interface, clicked on Volume_1, then in the right hand pane I right-clicked the Backups directory and selected Properties to edit the read/write permissions.

Thanks for everyone's help.

Glad it working now. Enjoy.
