meet specific criteria chosen by users. Note that all entries listed under an album or smart albums
are only links to files. This can effectively save your NAS storage space, as you keep only one
copy of every photo even if you put a photo in several albums that have different themes. You
can also right click on "Album" (the category header) to expand/collapse the album list or add an
album or smart album. For more information, see Creating and managing albums and Creating
and managing smart albums.
 List albums containing photos with face tags. Please refer to Adding face tags to photos for more
information.
 Shared Center: Show the sharing history of your photos and videos. You can check the name, link,
expiration date and summary of each entry or share items again. You can also right click on
"Shared Center" (the category header) to expand / collapse the album list.
 Recently: Include photos and videos that were recently imported from local devices or those that
were taken with a camera or recording device within two months.
 Trash Can: All deleted photos and videos can be found here and can be restored or permanently
deleted. Only deleted files (and not virtual links) will appear in the trash can.
Note:
 The "/home" folder can only be accessed by its owner and NAS administrators. Private
or personal videos should only be stored in your "/home" folder.
 For media folder configuration, refer to the Multimedia Management chapter. For user
setup and configuration, refer to the User section in the Privilege Settings chapter.
