I am trying to get a samba share setup so that users have both read and write permissions. I thought that I would be able to do this by editing /etc/samba/smb.conf to add my share like so:

[CLOUD]
 path = /cloud
 writable = yes
 security = user
 valid users = neon, win
 write list = neon, win

and then running:

$ sudo systemctl restart smb.service
$ sudo systemctl restart nmb.service

I can access my share from the two accounts, but neither can write. When I run testparam, some of the parameters are missing(security and writable, but there is no explicit error.

rlimit_max: increasing rlimit_max (1024) to minimum Windows limit (16384)
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf

# Global parameters
[global]
 dns proxy = No
 log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m
 max log size = 50
 server role = standalone server
 server string = Samba Server
 workgroup = MYGROUP
 idmap config * : backend = tdb


[homes]
 browseable = No
 comment = Home Directories
 read only = No


[printers]
 browseable = No
 comment = All Printers
 path = /usr/spool/samba
 printable = Yes


[CLOUD]
 path = /cloud
 read only = No
 valid users = neon win
 write list = neon win

I take this to mean that the writable = yes parameter is not being recognized, but since there are no errors I have no idea why. Any suggestions as to what might be going on here?
I am using Arch.

Try this:

[CLOUD]
 writeable = yes
 path = /cloud
 valid users = neon,win

Restart smbd

Check also read/write permissions directly in your Linux system when you have logged in as user neon or win.

I often had to sign out/in again in Windows
