Step 8: Setting up Network Drives on other PCs

In Step 6, the SmartNAVI Setup Wizard created a default folder on the SmartStor and made it a network drive on your PC.

To setup network drives on other PCs, where you have not installed the SmartNAVI software, you must use the PCs’ Operating Systems for this purpose:

•Setting up a Network Drive on a Windows PC (page 14)

•Setting up a Network Drive on a UNIX or Linux PC (page 14)

•Setting up a Network Drive on a Macintosh PC (page 16)
