File Systems
A file system is a way of storing and organizing files on your hard drive and storage device. Often
different operating systems such as Windows or Linux have different file systems. The file sharing feature
on your SBG supports File Allocation Table (FAT) and FAT32.
Common Internet File System
The SBG uses Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocol for its file sharing functions. CIFS compatible
computers can access the USB file storage devices connected to the SBG. CIFS protocol is supported on
Microsoft Windows, Linux Samba and other operating systems (refer to your systems specifications for
CIFS compatibility).
