Answer 1

Do you have set writeable = yes in your /etc/samba/smb.conf

To allow all users to access and write:

 [share]
 path = /shared
 browseable = yes
 read only = no  
 writeable = yes
 browseable = yes
 public = yes
 create mask = 0644
 directory mask = 0755

Depending on your distro /etc/init.d/samba restart or systemctl restart smb
