Shares Screen
This screen allows you to manage the Shares which exist on the NAS Server. A "Share" is a folder (direc- tory) on the NAS Server which a User Group can access.
•Only the NAS Server Administrators can create Shares. However, within a Share, users who have access to that Share can create other folders (directories) as well as files.
•A Share can be accessed by many User Groups, and a User Group can access many Shares.
•If you have a Share within a Share, then all users with access to the outer share will ALWAYS have the same access rights to the inner share.

| • Folder - If "Default Folder" is selected, the share is created in the |
| root folder (directory) on the selected disk. |
| If "Specify" is selected, you can enter the folder (directory) to be |
| converted to a Share. If the folder does not exist, it will be created. |
