Thanks you indirectly fixed my problem without even having to use Samba. I was using Firefox instead of Chromium and you mentioning the term ‘browser’ made me decide to try it out using Chromium. That worked.
So the problem might actually be that upload backup is broken in firefox, or maybe uBlock origin add-on was blocking something?
