Hidden Shares

If hidden shares are enabled, shared SMB folders will not be displayed in Network, and only certain users are allowed
to access them. To hide a shared SMB folder, follow the procedure below.
1
From Settings, navigate to File Sharing > Folder Setup and choose a shared folder or a USB drive to configure
hidden shares.
2
Click the Option 2 tab and select the "Hidden share (SMB only)" checkbox, then click OK.
Notes:
• If protocols other than "SMB (Windows/Mac)" or "Backup" under "LAN Protocol Support" on the Basic tab are
enabled, the hidden shares option will be grayed out and cannot be selected.
• Configure hidden share attribute in Settings. Configuring them from within Windows is not supported and may
cause unexpected behavior.
To access a hidden folder, open File Explorer in your computer and enter "\\TeraStation name\shared folder name$\"
into the address bar. For example, if the TeraStation name is "TSXXX001" and the shared folder name is "share", enter
"\\TSXXX001\share$\" to open it.
