Share Defaults
If you used ReadyCLOUD or the local setup wizard to configure your desktop ReadyNAS
storage system, the following shares are created for you:
•
Documents
•
Music
•
Pictures
•
Videos
These folders are not automatically created on rack-mount ReadyNAS storage systems.
If you want, you can delete or rename these shares. You can create other shares to
organize your data.
File and Folder Names
A share can contain subfolders to help you organize your data files. If all characters in
the file or folder name are alphanumeric, the maximum length of the name is 255
characters. If you use other kinds of characters, the maximum length might be reduced.
For example, if a file or folder name uses Kanji or Hanzi characters, the maximum length
of the name might be 83 characters.
File-Sharing Protocols and File Services
You can access shares over a LAN or WAN network. Network access to data stored on
your ReadyNAS system is managed by file-sharing protocols, which handle the transfer
of data. You can access a share on your ReadyNAS system from other network-attached
devices (for example, a laptop or a tablet) if you enable the file-sharing protocol that
the network-attached device uses to access the ReadyNAS system. You can enable
multiple protocols for an individual share, allowing users to access the share through
various methods. In addition to file-sharing services, your ReadyNAS system supports
a number of file services. The file-sharing protocols and file services UPnP, SNMP, SSH
and antivirus, apply to the ReadyNAS system as a whole, not to indvidual folders.
For information about how to configure and enable file-sharing protocols for shares,
see Set Network Access Rights to Shares on page 71. For information about how to
configure UPnP, SNMP, SSH, and antivirus, see Configure Global Settings for System
Services on page 206.
The following table lists the file-sharing protocols that your ReadyNAS storage system
supports.
