Don't use NTFS much here on Linux and generally prefer it on portable drives. NTFS permissions are generally set at mount time, though I understand with some extra work, true POSIX permissions are possible. I can't help with NTFS and samba, just have seen issues with it here that were more complicated to solve and often weren't possible to solve easily. This make dealing with permissions easier for both Linux and Samba needs. If the drive is inside a Linux system, it really should be formatted with a Linux file system, like ext4. I have another drive that's 1.5tb and that's formatted ext4, so it's big enough, but I'm concerned that my machine isn't powerful enough to move 1tb-plus of files back and forth without something going wrong. I'm not willing to re-rip my dvd collection, but if I need to move the files to another drive, reformat this one, and then move them back, I'm willing to do that.

(As an aside, one of my next goals is to set up a bittorrent sync relationship between my music folder on my Windows computer and my music folder-also in this 'share' folder-on my Linux htpc so that when I rip or download music to my main computer it's automatically copied to the machine running my plex server. And that's why I want a Samba share, so that I can continue to convert dvds (and CDs, etc) to digital on my Windows computer and then move them over the network to my Linux HTPC, which is running the Plex server for the household. That's because this project started out converting a dvd collection to digital media on my Windows machine. The drive itself (2tb, fwiw) is formatted NTFS. 'user' and 'group' are both me/mine, so to speak neither ownership is set to plex, but if the plex user is a member of 'my' group, then shouldn't it have access? I've checked, and 'plex' is definitely set as a member of my group. Using ls -l, the drive and 'share' folder both show the same thing Thank you for the reply! I am very much an amateur when it comes to Linux. Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated! I am sure that the solution should be obvious, but I'm out of ideas. I want my entire network to be able to see and access the 'share' folder but not the rest of the drive.

I have set the folder to 'share' (with full permissions) both in Samba and in Nautilus (oddly enough, the set permissions change according to whether or not I'm looking at them as a root user or not) I have set the permissions for the 'share' folder (which is on the drive) to 777 I have set the permissions for the entire drive (which I'm assuming I own, as I'm the only user with a login) to 775 I have kept user=plex in the rvice file but I've changed the group to MYGROUP I have added user 'plex' to my main group, MYGROUP This is what I have done today (I suppose there could be a conflict carried over from the old machine? would these settings override previous ones?): Plex worked fine on the old machine, but I couldn't ever get Samba to work (with a lot of tinkering). Also, it will likely be helpful to know, this folder is on a drive that I brought over from my old HTPC, which was running 14.04. My assumption is that the problem has to do with that folder's permissions. The reason that I am posting these two issues together is because both problems deal with a single folder, titled 'share' and hosted on an external drive. I have just moved to a new htpc running 16.04, and I am failing at getting folder access over my home network through Samba and also at getting the Plex media server to see my (local) media library.
