folder, you would have to create shared folders if your network includes Linux or Mac users.
Up to 128 shared folders can be created. Users who can access and write to these shared
folders can create additional sub-folders for organizing the files they store there.
Notes:
• The Shared folders list includes usbdisk1 and usbdisk2, whether or not any
USB disks have been connected to the storage system.
•
Shared folders created as a result of creating Windows/OS X users do not
appear in the Shared folders list.
Adding Shared Folders
To add a new shared folder:
1. Click the “Add” button. The page shown in Figure 3-18 will be displayed. Select the type of
user that will be accessing this shared folder and click “Next”. The operating system running
on the user’s computer determines which option you should choose (Windows/OS X users
(CIFS) or Linux/Mac users (NFS)).

2. The next page that is displayed (Figure 3-19) will ask for the name of the shared folder. This
name can be up to 64 characters long and can contain letters, numbers, hyphens,
underlines, and spaces. In the Shared folder name text box, enter a unique name for the
shared folder, and then click “Next”.
Note: Each shared folder name must be unique. For example, if you create a
shared folder named Photos for Windows/OS X users, you cannot subsequently
create a shared folder named Photos for Linux/Mac users. In addition, the shared
folder name cannot be the same as any Windows/OS X user name.
