Windows 10: NAS drive permissions problem

So I have a Seagate Central NAS connected to my network which I can access from my laptop. I also have an external drive plugged into the back of it for extra storage. When I open up the network drive on my laptop it comes up 2 folders, "Public" is the main folder for the Seagate central, the other folder is "usb1-1share2" which is the extra drive plugged in.


I have recently bought a new laptop and have just noticed a problem with the extra share drive.


I can access the drive and all of it's contents but I cannot move anything onto or off the drive without getting the error message


"You need permission to perform this action


You require permission from Unix User\nobody to make changes to this file"


I have tried researching the issue and found procedures to change permissions and ownership of drives but nothing works. When I try to change the owner currently labelled as "nobody Unix User\nobody" I get the message


"Unable to set new owner on usb1-1share2.


This security ID may not be assigned as the owner of this object"


I cannot find my user name listed in the find names category, I feel this is because the location it's looking in is the seagate drive and there is no option to change the location. My user name would be listed in the location LAPTOP-XXXXXX. The public drive main seagate drive has the same nobody owner and works fine. The everyone user group has full control with all permissions ticked for the public drive and works perfectly, however the usb share drive has only special permissions ticked under the everyone user group and none of the others ticked. When I try to give everyone group full control like the public drive I get the message


"An error occurred while applying security information to:


\\Seagate-XXXXXX\usb1-1share2\*FOLDER NAME*


Failed to enumerate objects in the container. Access is denied."

So basically I can't add/remove permissions, change ownership, or alter anything on the drive without getting error messages. It was working just fine on my old laptop.


I also unplugged the drive off the back of the Seagate Central and plugged directly into my laptop and I had full access and permissions, so I'm convinced it has something to do with being a network drive.

Problem accessing a NAS drive


I have 2 NAS drives and 3 computers in my home network. The NAS drives and one PC are Ethernet-connected to a router/wireless access point; the other 2 PCs use wireless connections. All 3 PCs can access one NAS drive with no problem. The drives show up in the Network section of File Explorer, and if I click on the NAS's icon all it's shares are displayed (whether or not the PC has credentials to access the shares). The shares on the other NAS drive can be seen by only 2 of the PCs.

On the failing PC the inaccessible NAS drive shows in File Explorer, but if I click on it I get




However, on that same PC, Firefox can access the FTP server on the NAS drive



so Windows obviously has no trouble communicating with the NAS. And Windows must be configured to allow communication with a NAS in general or it could not successfully connect to the other NAS. (Those two screen snips were stored on that working NAS.)

The problematic PC doesn't really have to reach the NAS, but I would like it to, and I'm frustrated that I can't figure this out. Anyone have any suggestions?

BTW, the error popup says I should ask the administrator of the server about this. I would, but I'm not speaking with myself at the moment.
