I apologize for the delay, but I'm now starting to investigate this problem.
As Christian said above, the very first step I have to take is to reproduce the problem, but for now I am unable to do so. Here is what I did: 1) Installed a Focal VM from scratch. Made sure that everything is up- to-date. 2) Installed samba smbclient gvfs gvfs-backends dbus-x11. 3) Edited /etc/samba/smb.conf and added the following lines: [testshare] comment = Samba Shared Folder path = /testshare writable = yes browsable = yes create mask = 0660 directory mask = 0771 valid users = sergio [testshare2] writeable = yes path = /testshare2 guest ok = yes browseable = yes follow symlinks = yes wide links = yes directory mask = 0755 directory mask = 0644 force user = sergio 4) Added my user to Samba using smbpasswd. 5) Created /testshare and /testshare2, then created new text files inside them. 6) Opened Nautilus (using my regular user, not root) and mounted the "testshare" and "testshare2" shares. 7) Also verified that I'm using SMB3_11 via smbstatus. I have also tried forcing the usage of SMB3_02 (which is what Lee Tae Hoon said he was using). I verified that the text file is correctly being showed as a regular file, not a directory. I also tried downloading some JPEG images from the internet and putting them inside the shares, but they always show up correctly as regular files. I understand that this bug is affecting multiple users, but I'm trying to find a way to reproduce it locally so that I can investigate it more. I have a few questions: 1) Aside from the share definition you shared above, is there anything else that you may have changed in /etc/samba/smb.conf? Would it be possible to share the whole file, taking care to obfuscate any personal information? 2) Can you share/examine the contents of /var/log/samba/log.<YOUR_HOSTNAME>? 3) Can you set Samba's log level to the maximum value and reload the share? You can set the log level by doing (as root): # smbcontrol smbd debug 10 Then, after you refresh Nautilus, you should set the debug level back to 0: # smbcontrol smbd debug 0 If you could share your log files under /var/log/samba/log.*, that would be great.
