Thanks for your reply.
The problem I also have with chown/chmod is that once I do it, my Windows machine loses permissions to write to that directory.
I have the same problem with my Nextcloud instance. I need to do a chown/chmod to give Nextcloud access to the data folder. But then I can't copy files to it anymore via SMB from my Windows machine.
I'm sure this is all simply a consequence of my lack of knowledge on how permissions and ownership works exactly.
I've tried to watch some YouTube videos on this topic, but it still didn't help much unfortunately.
The only workaround I found was in my NAS ACL settings, setting the "others" (as in non-admin and non-user) permissions to 'read and execute', instead of 'none' . But I feel this is compromising the security.
