Recycle Bin
To protect your data from accidental deletion, you may configure your LinkStation to use a recycle bin instead of
deleting files immediately. The recycle bin will only work with SMB connections.
Note:
With Mac OS, make sure "Exclude Mac OS temp files from recycle bin" is enabled. Otherwise, files in the
recycle bin may be corrupted.
Read-only Shares
By default, new shares are set with read & write access, but you may change the attribute to "Read Only" in
"Attribute". Read-only shares and HFS+ formatted USB hard drives will have "Read-only" added to the shared folder
description.
