Here you can manage your shared folders and set up their access rights in relation to
users and user groups. Shared folders allow your NAS to become a file server. They are
fundamental in sharing files with the outside world. Consequently, correctly setting up
their access rights is very important in the management of your data.
 Invisible in “Network” or “My Network Places”: This setting only applies if you are
using Microsoft Windows. When you enable this setting, your NAS will cease to
automatically appear in “Network” or in “My Network Places”. Please note that
enabling this setting will not affect the connection to your NAS in any way.
 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 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.
