Folder Management
Volumes and folders on any system are used to organize data. Regardless
of system size, systematic structuring and naming conventions of volumes
and folders eases the administrative burden. Moving from volumes to folders
to shares increases the level of granularity of the types of data stored in the
unit and the level of security access allowed.
Although a variety of methods can be used to create and manage file folders
on the NAS appliance, this document discusses using the Windows Remote
Desktop or direct attached method interface.
Managing system volumes and file folders includes the following tasks:
•
Navigating to a specific volume or folder
•
Creating a new folder
•
Deleting a folder
•
Modifying folder properties
•
Creating a new share for a volume or folder
•
Managing shares for a volume or folder
