Select Public or Private Folder Access .
•
Public - Public folders give everyone on your network equal access.
However, you can check Protect Shared Folder and create a shared
folder password to add some security. With password protection enabled,
all network users enter the same password to access the shared folder.
To browse shared folders from an Internet browser on a computer within
your home network or remotely, the public shared folders must be
password enabled or the folder must be set to private (see below). For
additional information, see To use network addressing to browse on
page 76 . For instance, if you registered MyFamily.hpshare.net for your
HP Media Vault, you would use this address to connect to your server
using remote access.
•
Private - Private shared folders are the default. They are more secure
since you create network users on the Users tab and you define "access
privileges" for each user for each shared folder. It is recommended that
you use private shared folders if you are using remote access since each
user is assigned a password, increasing the security level of your Media
Vault. For additional information, see Creating a User on page 55 .
Note: If you add a mirrored drive to your HP Media Vault and it is the
same size as the system drive, you do not have the option to create non-
mirrored shared folders. All folders are mirrored.
If the mirrored drive is larger than the system drive, the additional storage
space is non-mirrored and can contain non-mirrored shared folders. Once
a shared folder is created in the mirrored or non-mirrored disk space, it
cannot be moved. The HP Media Vault default shared folders, Backup,
Documents, Music, Photos, and Videos, always exist in mirrored disk
space on a Media Vault with mirrored drives.

Check Enable Media Streaming to share the folder’s contents with a
