Folder Management

Volumes and folders on any system are used to organize data. Regardless of system size,

Although a variety of methods can be used to create and manage file folders on the NAS
server, this document discusses using the NAS Web based user interface (WebUI.)
Managing system volumes and file folders includes the following tasks:
