As you can see i can make a file in the docs folder but not the pdf_docs subfolder.

Insufficient space in download directory

The folder has a lot of files and is quite large- i wonder if i've reached a limit? I couldn't find anything on google.

EDIT I've just checked and i can delete files... and for every file i delete i appear to be able to create a new one. This definitely points toward a limit in terms of number of files?

It is likely that a quota has been set on the pdf_docs directory.

Directory quotas are configured using the File Server Resource Manager tool. You must be an administrator on the file server to use it.

I had a similar problem with a Windows client trying to access a Linux server. I shared a folder that had mounts from different disks. The problem and solution are described in this answer: https://askubuntu.com/a/631977/535528

What Is Insufficient Disk Space

in short the solution is to share the individual disks, rather than some parent where those are mounted. This will also result in exporting multiple shares instead of one from the samba configuration.

Assuming your permissions are indeed correct, and that the drive has sufficient storage space to create the file, I would check the number of characters in the full path to that folder. The maximum length for the path in Windows is 260 characters according to this answer on stackoverflow.

It looks like it's set to Read-Only. I think that any be your problem. If you deselect it probably will be fixed. If it isn't, it's something more serious.

In Windows a directory is implemented as an index file, and when an index file gets too fragmented it is not possible to add new entries.

To resolve the problem, defragment the index file as described here.

I don't know if you solved your problem or not, but I was struggling for a while with the same issue. I bought a new external hard disk 6TB WD, while copying a large folder with too many folders and files, the same issue occurs. The hard disk was formatted in exFAT file extension, reformatting it to NTFS solved the problem.
