Looked high and low - but not able to get a clear cut answer / leads.

I am using 14.04 for file server. There are 4 users connected to this - each with their own pwds. All are shared to one group.

The file create and directory create mask are set to 0777 - thus it should be that each file and folder is shared to all other users. But it is not working like this.

I have also enabled recycle bin in the samba settings.

Would be grateful for some hints.

Rgds.

  • make sure you have changed ownership of shared directory to new group that you create and also changed permission and all user should be member of this group . please provide behavior that you are getting that will be better for me to understand your problem .

  • The folder created by any one user is read only for other users. Except folders created by xx - where xx is the group owner.

  • I have added the users as explained in the howtogeek article. the same settings were working earlier in 12.04. now we are having to change permissions again and again manually.

  • Well i could n´t come up with a better idea to assist a bit, but in a home network or a network environment there has always been the same file share settings configured to share properly,it is not the same as file sharing over cloud i hope you could establish the file sharing like you want it to be
