Security - Add a new Shared Folder
Shared Folder Name:
Name can be up to 12
alphanumeric characters (“
-”
and “

are
supported).
Shared Folder Description:
To differentiate the folders
on LinkStation, a brief sentence or phrase evoking the
type of data in the share is recommended.
Shared Folders OS Support:
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
. If only Macintosh
machines are to access this shared folder, then select
Mac
. Linux can read
Win
or
Win/Mac
shares.
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:
If the recycle bin is disabled, then any deleted data from the shared folder cannot be
restored. If the recycle bin is enabled, then all deleted 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 some
versions of Windows it may be necessary to set Windows to
display all hidden files and folders
before the .trash folder is visible. Mac OS 10.2 or higher is required for Recycle Bin functionality
in Mac environments.
