Origin doesnt have permission to DL to SMB share

[FrostyViking]

I hope im in the correct sub-forum. I am attempting to save my origin games to NAS (SMB share). Do I need to create a user named Origin or something? On a side note, Steam library on NAS disconnects whenever I restart my PC and I need to manually connect it again through steam settings. Any fixes for either of my problems?

OS Version:
FreeNAS-11.2-RELEASE-U1
(Build Date: Dec 20, 2018 22:41)
Processor:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2120 CPU @ 3.30GHz (4 cores)
Memory:
8 GiB

Thanks.

A couple of things to try: (1) add an entry in the Windows credentials manager for your NAS with the credentials you're using to authenticate or (2) create a user on the NAS with an identical username / password to what you use to log in to your Windows computer.

I did try this to no avail. However, I did find my solution on the LTT forum, seems to be an Origin issue that affects all types of network storage.

To anyone running into a similar problem here is what worked for my
this is not "MY" solution but from User MADDIN over on LTT.

"Here the detailed steps to realize my solution:
1. type services.msc in to the Search field and open Services
2. Search for "Origin Client Host" in the list and duble click it
3. set the Startup type to disabled
4. Click OK and close the Services window
5. type regedit in to the search field and open the entry regedit
6. Locate and then right-click the registry subkey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System.
7. Point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
8. Type EnableLinkedConnections, and then press ENTER.
9. Right-click EnableLinkedConnections, and then click Modify.
10. In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.
11. Exit Registry Editor, and then restart the computer.
12. Now Origin should be able to to download to the set installation-path even if it is a network share"
