Drop box problem

[gw1500se]

I’ve set up a drop box on a shared folder on a server. Users have this share mounted on their client machines (10.4.3) when they log in. On that share I created a drop box. When I look at the folder on the client machine, the permissions appear to be correct. However, when they try to drop a file into the folder they first get an alert that tells them they cannot see the result of the operation and ask if they want to continue (it is a dumb prompt that I need to eliminate eventully but not an issue at this point). The user clicks ‘OK’ then an error message pops up telling them they do not have sufficient premissions for some of the operations. I have no clue what permissions are needed that they don’t already have. Can someone help me figure out why they cannot write to a folder which finder says they have write permission for? TIA.

I know this is old, but I was searching for a solution to a different drop box problem and I’ve seen these same error in the past. In my situation this would happen on a 10.3 server with AD users, but it wasn’t consistent. Sometimes connected to the server via wireless would cause the problem. Other times we’d see it on the wired connections. We determined it wasn’t happening with 10.4, so we upgraded the server and I haven’t seen these errors again.

All I can say is if your server is bound to AD, I doubt it is caused by individual directory permissions.
