Encrypt this shared folder:
Here you can choose whether or not you want to encrypt your shared folder and whether or not
you want to auto-mount it at system startup. Should you choose to encrypt your folder, after the
system restarts, you will have to manually enter the password or import the encryption key for
the folder in order to access it. Encrypted folders are normally used for the storage of critical or
confidential data. Should you lose your NAS you still needn't worry about your data leaking out
and falling into the wrong hands.
WarningWhen choosing to use encrypted shared folders, please make it a point to
remember your password. Should you forget your password, the data in the shared folder will
become unrecoverable
Export/import encrypted key:
Selecting “Export encrypted key” will download the encrypted key to your computer. When
you need to mount an encrypted folder, you can select “Enter Password” or “Import
encrypted key” to mount the shared folder and begin accessing it.
