Chapter 3 File Sharing
You may also configure access permissions for domain users and groups. You should have the TeraStation join your
Active Directory domain before configuring access permissions from File Explorer.
Notes:
• If enabling subfolders' access restrictions for a USB drive, the drive should be formatted using Btrfs, XFS, or ext3.
• To back up or replicate files to backup or replication destinations while leaving access permissions of files and
folders in subfolders unchanged, make sure the same workgroup name, user IDs, and group IDs are configured
between backup or replication sources and destinations.
• If you enable subfolders' access restrictions and then clear the "Read & execute" checkbox under "Allow" on File
Explorer for users or groups access permissions, these users or groups cannot be allowed to read and execute
even if subfolders' access restrictions are disabled in Settings. If you deny reading and executing on the same
window, this will remain after disabling subfolders' access restrictions.
• If the TeraStation's settings have been initialized but you configure the same UID and GID for new users and
groups, access permissions to files and folders in subfolders may be inherited.
Enhancing Compatibility for macOS Client Access
To access shared folders via SMB connections from macOS devices, configure access from macOS devices to be
enhanced over other clients such as Windows devices. By enabling this setting, file transfer speed from macOS
devices will be increased, while the CPU usage rate of this TeraStation will decrease. However, the file transfer speed
for non-macOS SMB clients will drop slightly.
