Answer 1

Hello,

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

To further resolve this issue, please kindly follow below steps:

1. Go to the file share folder and right-click the property.
2. Go to Sharing and check if current user is assigned with this permission.
3. Go to Security and check if the user has NTFS permission.
4. Please try with administrator account and see if it works.

If you don't have admin account, please check with your IT department and make sure the proper permission has been assigned to your account.

Best Regards,

Hania Lian

There are 2 different permissions, one on NTFS (file system) level, which seems you have and one on the file share itself; and it seems that one is "read-only".
