Read-Only Shares

By default, new shares are set with read and write access, but you may change the attribute to Read only in Attribute.

Read-only shares and HFS Plus-formatted USB drives will have "(Read Only)" added to comments in Explorer.

Note: Configure read-only file attribute in Settings. Configuring them from within Windows is not supported

and may cause unexpected behavior.

Hidden Shares

If hidden shares are enabled, shared SMB folders will not be displayed in Network, and only certain users are allowed

to access them. To hide a shared SMB folder, follow the procedure below.

1 In Settings, navigate to File Sharing - Folder Setup and choose a shared folder or a USB drive to configure

hidden shares.

2 Select the "Hidden share (SMB only)" checkbox and click OK.

Notes:

• If protocols other than "SMB" or "Backup" under "LAN Protocol Support" are enabled, the hidden shares

option will be grayed out and cannot be selected.

• Configure hidden share attribute in Settings. Configuring them from within Windows is not supported and

may cause unexpected behavior.

To access a hidden folder, open File Explorer in your computer and enter "\\TeraStation name\Shared folder name$\"

for the name. For example, if the TeraStation name is "TSXXX001" and the shared folder name is "share", enter "\\
