So thank you, was able to resolve the name issue by simply removing the underscore from the share name I use for PhotoSync. This was made possible by the great help of by turning the SMB error collection setting to full (Services -> SMB -> Log Levels) followed by him looking through the debug log files once I had fired up PhotoSync on my iPhone, tried to setup SMB twice (which resulted in the Bad_NAME_ERROR), and also attempted transfers twice (which would throw a SMB 36 error).

However, once he used the same share name as I did (PhotoSync_CvW), he was able to reproduce the error on his end too. The developer was also very responsive but initially was not able to reproduce the problem on his Synology. He identified that the PhotoSync iOS app seems to be dropping the underscore from the network share name, even if the name was selected from a list of browsable shares in the PhotoSync App menu. was incredibly helpful, walking me through multiple levels of diagnostics to figure out what is going on. Fixed: When many photos / videos were skipped (e.g. Yet I get SMB error bad network name which in the past was a permissions issue.

Full permissions for both, recursive file permissions applied to directories and contents alike, etc. So here is my plea: can anyone enjoying PhotoSync and TrueNAS happiness share how they set up their ACL permissions or traditional unix permissions? What does the command line show re: owners/groups? I’m not picky, I just want it to get to work again!įwiw, I set my PhotoSync user to be the owner and the PhotoSyncuser group to be the group owner. I tried using traditional permissions as well as the preferred ACL approach, yet I fail consistently. I know the password login is good since I can browse the network volumes, yet, no transfer can take place. I keep getting errors from PhotoSync as it cannot connect using the same exact credentials as before. That also meant redoing all the shares and that’s where I am currently failing. As part of that process, I nuked my old pool and rebuilt it with a 3-way sVDEV, etc. I have mostly made the transition to TrueNAS and SMB in general.
