Adding shared folders
By default, the LinkStation includes one shared folder “share”. You may add additional folders as
follows.

To protect your data from accidental deletion, you may enable a [Recycle Bin] for the share (not
available for Apple and FTP connections). Deleted data in a shared folder will be temporarily moved
to the [Recycle Bin] folder. To recover deleted data, open the [Recycle Bin] folder and move files.
Read-Only shares cannot be modified or deleted. To make a Read-Only share, select [Read Only] in
the [Shared Folder] screen and click [Save].
Notes: • By default, [shared Folder Attributes] is configured as [Read & Write].
• A shared folder set to [Read Only] cannot be written by any users or groups, even if they
have read and write permissions. Read-Only folders are read-only for all users.
• Read Only shares are described as [Read Only] in the shared folder description.
