Thank you for your bug report. Can you write into that directory using the gio command line utility? Do you get any error in the journalctl log or in the nautilus UI when trying to copy to the base directory?

I can do all of this operations by using shell commands (touch, cp, mkdir...) in a terminal window. Also, nautilus can perform these actions if I start it with root privileges. Even stranger is the following: even though nautilus cannot write into the mounted shares it is able to write into its subfolders.
