named data, you could specify C:\data1\folder1.
NOTE: The Browse button cannot be used to locate the file system.
• The directory to be shared will be created if it does not already exist.
• The permissions on the shared directory will be set to 777. It is not possible to change the
permissions on the share.

cluster.
