Customize Private Home Shares
If you want to use only public shares, you can disable private home shares. And if you use
private home shares, you can control how to access them, where they are created, whether
to use the Recycle Bin from network-attached devices that support the CIFS file-sharing
protocol, and when to warn users about disk quotas.
Disable Private Home Shares
If you want to use users and groups to control access to public shares, but you do not want to
use private home shares, you can prevent users from accessing their private home shares.
To prevent users from accessing home shares:
1.
From the FrontView main menu, select
Security > User & Group Accounts
.
2.
From the drop-down list at the top of the screen, select
Preferences
