LinkStation New Shared Folder Settings
Adding a new shared folder will create a new shared folder on LinkStation to store data.
Shared Folder Name:
This name will be the name of
the shared folder on LinkStation.
Shared Folder Description:
The shared folder
description should be used to differentiate the folders on
LinkStation. A brief sentence or phrase regarding the
specifi c data in the share is recommended.
Shared Folders OS Support:
Select the proper
option for the folder. If only Windows machines will access
this shared folder, then select
‘Win’
. If both Windows and
Macintosh machines will access this shared folder then
select
‘Win/Mac’
. Finally, if only Macintosh machines are to
access this shared folder, then select
‘Mac’
. For compatibility ‘Win/Mac’ is recommended.
Access Restriction Function:
This function turns on user/group permissions. Using this function will
password protect a folder. For more information, see the next page about using
‘Access Restriction’
.
Recycle Bin:
The recycle bin is a feature that moves deleted data to a recycle bin fi rst. If the recycle bin
is disabled, then any deleted data inside the shared folder cannot be restored. If the recycle bin is enabled,
then all data will be moved to a folder called,
‘.trash’
. Data will then need to be removed from the trash
before it is permanently deleted. In Windows it may be necessary to set Windows to display all hidden fi les
and folders before the .trash folder is visible. Consult your OS documentation for more information. Mac OS
10.2 or higher is required for Recycle Bin functionality in Mac environments.
