The Welcome Screen
The Welcome Screen allows you to select Browse Shared Folders or Configure Device. The Welcome Screen opens only if you have selected to allow Web Browser Access for one or more Shared Folders. Your media vault defaults to No Access for Web Browser access, so you must change this setting to enable this method for accessing your files. You can change to Web Browser Access on the Create a new Shared Folder screen or on the Modify an Existing Shared Folder. On both screens, the Web Browser Access option appears under Permit Access to this Folder from.
Web Browser Access refers to HTTP access. HTTP access lets you access folders and files on your media vault in a browser window. You should use HTTP access cautiously because HTTP access also lets you use a browser to access media vault files on computers outside of your local area network (LAN). To keep your files secure, you should only enable HTTP access if you understand network security.

Click to browse the contents of your media vault using a web browser window.
Configure Device
Click to access the configuration pages, which lets you modify settings on the media vault. When you select this option, the first screen titled Shared Folders opens. (See How to use the Shared Folders screen.)
