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. To empty the recycle bin, click
File
Sharing
>
Folder Setup
>
Empty Recycle Bin
in Settings. Data in all recycle bins in all shared folders will be deleted.
Notes:
• You can prevent guests and other users from emptying the trash by navigating to
File Sharing
>
SMB
and select
“Administrator only” for the “Permissions” option.
• If you use macOS, select “Keep when original file is deleted” for the “macOS Temp Files” option by navigating to
File Sharing
>
SMB
. If this setting is changed, files in the recycle bin may be corrupted.
Read-Only Shares
By default, new shares are set with read and write access, but you may change the folder attribute. Follow the
procedure below to change the shared folder attribute to read-only.
1
From Settings, navigate to
File Sharing
>
Folder Setup
and choose a shared folder.
2
Click the
Option 2
tab and change the “Attribute” option to “Read only”, then click
OK
.
Read-only shares and HFS Plus-formatted USB drives will have “(Read Only)” added to comments in File Explorer.
Notes:
• Configure the share attribute only through Settings. Configuring folder attributes through Windows is not
supported and may cause unexpected behavior.
• To set a read-only share or USB drive to another attribute, follow the procedure above and change the attribute in
step 2 from “Read only” to the desired attribute.
Hidden Shares
If a shared folder becomes hidden, it will not be displayed under Network, and only certain users will be allowed to
access it. To hide a shared SMB folder, follow the procedure below.
1
From Settings, navigate to
File Sharing
>
Folder Setup
and choose a shared folder to make hidden.
2
Click the
Option 2
tab and select the “Hidden share (SMB only)” checkbox, then click
OK
.
Notes:
• If protocols other than “SMB (Windows/Mac)” or “Backup” under “LAN Protocol Support” on the
Basic
tab are
enabled, the hidden shares option will be grayed out and cannot be selected.
• Configure hidden share attributes only through Settings. Configuring them through Windows is not supported
and may cause unexpected behavior.
To access a hidden folder, open File Explorer in your computer and enter “\\LinkStation name\shared folder name$\”
into the address bar. For example, if the LinkStation name is “LS710D001” and the shared folder name is “share”, enter
“\\LS710D001\share$\” to open it.
Configuring Users
Adding a User
You can add a user from a computer or a mobile device. Follow the appropriate procedure below to add a user.
Note:
You may add up to 300 users, which include the default users “admin” and “guest”. However, if there are a large
number of created users, folders may take a longer time (up to 20 minutes) to access.
