Find out who is locking a file on a network share

Just in case someone looking for a solution to this for a Windows based system or NAS:

There is a built-in function in Windows that shows you what files on the local computer are open/locked by remote computer (which has the file open through a file share):

  • Select “Manage Computer” (Open “Computer Management”)
  • click “Shared Folders”
  • choose “Open Files”

There you can even close the file forcefully.
