Getting Started

4.  In the “Shared folder name” text box, enter a unique name for the shared folder, and then 

click “Next”.

 

This name can be up to 256 characters long and can contain letters, numbers, hyphens, 
underlines, and spaces.

  Note

Each shared folder name must be unique. For example, if you create a shared folder named “Photos” 
for Windows/Mac OS X users, you cannot subsequently create a shared folder named “Photos” for 
Linux/other Mac users.

 

For Linux / other Mac users, the “Mount path” indicates the path that those users will specify 
when accessing the shared folder (as described in “Accessing Shared Folders” on page 27). 
As you enter a shared folder name in the text box, the same name is appended to the mount 
path. (You cannot change the first part of the mount path – “/nas/NASDisk-00002/”.)

 

The page that appears next varies, depending on the user type you selected.
