Reminder: You can choose to enable or disable encryption for folders even
after they have been created. Encryption is available for use with all shared
folders and is not just limited to system default folders. The access speed for
encrypted folders will normally be slower than for unencrypted folders.
Warning: When 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.
 NFS Privileges: Here you can set NFS privileges for individual folders after first
enabling NFS service.
About Shared Folders
After initialization, the system will automatically create a shared folder “public”. By
default, all users can access the files in this folder. Additionally, the system will
automatically create a personal folder for each user (using the user’s account name)
that by default, can only be accessed by the mentioned user.
 Windows ACL: Here you can choose to enable or disable Windows ACL for specified
shared folders.
About Windows ACL
1. After enabling Windows ACL for a shared folder, the shared folder and all
subfolders and files contained within it can be assigned user or group
permissions.
2. The following shared folders do not support Windows ACL permissions: Home,
User Homes, PhotoGallery, Web, Surveillance, MyArchive, Network Recycle Bin,
virtual devices, external devices (USB hard drives, optical drives).
3. After enabling Windows ACL you will be able to use ADM’s File Explorer or
Microsoft Windows Explorer to configure permissions. After disabling Windows
ACL you will only be able to configure permissions from within ADM’s File
Explorer.
4. If you enable Windows ACL and then later decide to disable it, all file and folders
will be re-assigned with Read & Write permissions for all users.
5. No matter if you are using Windows ACL or not, users will still require shared
folder and file permissions in order to access files.
