Folder Shares

Shares are folders that can be used to organize and store files on your
My Book World Edition network storage system. Shares can be shared with everyone
(public) or with selected users on your network (private).

The device comes preconfigured with three shares:

Public—created automatically at the factory

Shared Music - folder for storing music files you want to share with other users.

Shared Pictures - folder for storing image files you want to share with other users.

Shared Videos - for storing video files you want to share with other users.

Important: Do not change or delete these default share folders.
Disruption of file sharing could result. These are the default folders for the
Media Server (Twonky Media) and iTunes Service. For more information on
how to use Twonky media, see “Media Server” on page 138. For more
information on how to use the iTunes service, see “iTunes” on page 138.

Download—for saving files using Downloader (see “Download Manager:
Downloader” on page 151)
.

Configuration—this is a read-only share containing only a Help file and the login
page. It is not meant for sharing or storing data and should not be modified.

The administrator can create private shares accessible only by user name and
password when setting up a user account (see “To create a new user account:” on
page 93)
, or by setting permissions on an existing share (see “Folder Share
Permissions” on page 143)
.
