assign access privileges to the folders.
Remove a Shared Folder
If you are a user belonging to the
administrators
group, you can click
Delete
to remove any shared folder
created by yourself.
Important:
Removing any shared folder also removes all data within it. If you still need the data, back them up first.
Encrypt a Shared Folder
When creating a shared folder, you can choose to encrypt it.
2
After a folder is encrypted, you can use the
Encryption
drop-down menu to edit the folder.
The AES 256-bit encryption can block off all unauthorized access attempts. Without the encryption key, other
people will not be able to use the encrypted data even if they remove the hard drives from your IoSafe NAS and
mount it on their device.
Note:
Tick
Mount automatically on startup
to mount the encrypted folder automatically after IoSafe NAS starts up
next time. By default, encrypted shared folder will be unmounted automatically on startup for security reasons. If you
reset default passwords with the reset button located on the IoSafe NAS, encrypted shares will be unmounted, and
the option to automatically mount will be disabled.
