Hi Andre,

There are two parts to shared file permissions, SHARE permissions, and NTFS
permissions. These two sets of permissions, either in combination or
separately, follow the rule of most restrictive access.

If you're accessing the file via the share, the your permissions are
read-only. Grant your user full-control share permissions to test it.
