Dolphin cannot save to Samba drive

[tbonkers]

Hi,

I have a network drive (Raspberry Pi with Seagate Slimdrive), which I am sharing via Samba. I can access it from my Manjaro laptop using Doplhin, and can read and write. However, when I try to use it as a Save As destination, it does not appear in Doplin’s Save As dialog.

The same happens for every file; I can’t even save anything to the Samba drive from a browser. If I save a file on my laptop, then copy it to the network drive, it works.

Can you point me to the possible solution please.

Thanks
