I started dual-booting back when Vista came out. I have mostly used Windows since then, going for a few years at a time between using Linux. But, I have always set my pc up this way? Two or three partitions of less than 500 mb, for windows boot files. Then Partition A, would be Windows, Partition C, would be Linux, and Partition B, is a shared partition, usually fat. I set the partition in either OS, and grant permissions to other OS. Then open file manager, or Libre Office whatever and open a file, do what I need to do. Then save my work and move on.
However now, I set up the shared Folder through Windows 10, and did what it would let me to give permission to the Kubuntu install. Kubuntu, automounts the partition. Dolphin goes through the entire partition with no problem. Libre Office, has to recover every document I try to open. I can not copy from any folder, or file, I can not save a new file to that partition, I can't even move files from one folder to another on that partition.
I have not tried to chmod or whatever the other command is called. Because every post I have found here or on Google, that mentions those two commands, are not the same situation I have. Most of those are when files are on another HDD, not just a partition, or it's two machines on a network. Or there is some other difference (which I can't remember at the second), knowing how bad I can screw up doing something when I don't understand it, I wanted to get some advice first. Not to mention one thread I saw, had at least 12 different commands to do the same thing. (chmod -r, chmod, chmod -r (uname)(Fname), type out the command, then a modifier and retype the original command again. Using sudo nautilus, to open the partition and change ownership, or permissions, or both. I don't really care which OS owns the files as long as I have free access to the files when I need to. I want to be able to rearrange, delete, add new folder or files.
This is technically a second issue, but it's the same files. I usually only do one question per question, but I thought I would go ahead and mention this. When I set up the shared partition, I went to my files and folders in Windows, and clicked properties, clicked Location, and find target, and moved that folder/file to the new partition. I'm having a problem getting Kubuntu to do the same. It's been a couple months since I really tried, so I don't remember everything, but I know one time, I had two folders titled Documents, then one Doc folder was inside the other Doc folder. Or the error said uanble to move here, location does not exist, trying to put folder inside itself, and some other things. That was after I was just unable to find the correct procedure to do this. Maybe it's my search skills, but I usually find what I'm looking for. This part we can skip for now if we need to, I just wanted you to understand exactly what I'm trying to do.
