I mounted a network disk using

smbclient -L //network_disk -U MYDOMAIN/myuser
sudo mount.cifs -v //network_disk/G ~/G  --verbose -o user=myuser,domain=MYDOMAIN

After that, I can't for example touch ~/G/temp10.txt but can sudo touch ~/G/temp10.txt
I tried to use sudo chown -R $USER ~/G. I waited about 5 minutes and it was still not finished. It seems the network disk is too large (24 TB) for me to use this function. Also, I tried sudo chgrp myuser ~/G. It didn't help.
I want to know how to access this network disk without sudo.

Also, if I use mount.cifs -v //network_disk/G ~/G --verbose -o user=myuser,domain=MYDOMAIN I have an error 

mount.cifs: permission denied: no match for /home/myuser/G found in /etc/fstab

And what happens when you cange your mount expressions to this:

sudo mount.cifs -v //network_disk/G ~/G  --verbose -o user=myuser,domain=MYDOMAIN,uid=myuser

CIFS mounts set the owner to root with write access only to root. uid=myuser replaces root with you.

The myuser in "user=myuser" is the user name the server is expecting. The myuser in "uid=myuser" is your local Linux user name.
