characters are supported. The first character should not be a symbol or space.
• You may create up to 400 shared folders.
• The names of shared folders should not use characters from more than one language. For example, mixing
Japanese and Korean characters in names is not supported.
• If the names of shared folders accessed via AFP and FTP connections contain multibyte characters, configure the
client language in Management > Name/Time/Language to match the characters. If the setting does not match,
the shared folder name will not be displayed correctly.
• The following characters are handled differently by macOS and Windows. Avoid using these characters when
sharing data between macOS and Windows:
― ～ ∥ － ￠ ￡ ￢
• Windows does not support some characters that macOS and the LinkStation allow. If you create a filename on
a Mac using any of the following symbols, it will not display correctly on a Windows computer. You may have to
connect to the LinkStation via AFP in order to display or copy files that contain these symbols in their filenames.
