Adding a new Shared Folder

To add a new shared folder, enter a name for it in the Shared Folder Name box and choose which Disk Space it will reside in. You may also choose which operating systems and features the share will support by putting the appropriate checks next to Shared Folder Support, and whether

the share supports the Recycle Bin by putting a selecting Enable or Disable. Enter a Shared Folder Description and a Remote Backup Password if desired. Click Apply to build the new shared folder.

Appletalk support is available for use with legacy Macs. Checking “Apple” by Shared Folder Support turns on AppleTalk, letting you use your LinkStation with older Macs. Note that Appletalk files are limited to 2GB maximum filesize and 32 characters for filenames. If a folder with AppleTalk

on is accessed from a modern OS through smb, these limitations will not apply.

Remote Backup Password will set a password on this share for other LinkStations who want to use it as a remote backup target. This password will not affect users attempting to access the share; it only pertains to remote LinkStations trying to access this share for backup tasks.
