SHARES: ACCESS AND TRANSFER FILES
ABOUT DEFAULT SHARES
A share is a network volume that you can configure to store and share data. Your LaCie NAS has two shares by
default: admin and Public. Please note that the share admin will change to the name used by the administrator.
For example, if the administrator changes the default login “admin” to “John”, the share admin will become John.
The following table sums up the differences between them:
Name Accessibility Login Availability
admin
Private, accessible only to
admin by default
Password-protected
When connected to the network (Ethernet) and to
networked computers
Public
Public, accessible to any
user on the network
None
When connected to the network (Ethernet) and to
networked computers or UPnP/DLNA-certified
players/adapters (if multimedia service is activated
at the global and share level)
It is also possible to create new shares and/or to delete the default shares. See Manage Shares for details.
Note on LaCie 2big NAS upgrades to LaCie NAS OS 3.0: Share names will not be affected when
