P.S. As noted in some of the other posts, would be nice to have a better way of handling this in the unraid UI.

After a bit more digging found several related posts (after understanding that this is about forcing a user over SMB): Exactly my problem Solution is to add the following lines to your /boot/config/smb-extra.conf [Global] force create mode = 0666 force directory mode = 0777 force user = nobody force group = users create mask = 0666 Marking as solved.

I log into my unraid from windows or mac with a specific user name. That works all fine and I can upload and change files. However, turns out the SMB uploaded files are owned by that user and not accessible by other users even though the share they are in is a public, non-secure one. I can fix this with the "Safe new perms" tool, but it's a recurring issue. What do I need to change to maintain proper file permissions (nobody/users) when uploading via SMB?
