Working with Shared Folders

Disconnecting from Shared Folders

If you need to reconfigure the disks in your storage system or shut it down for any reason,
all users should disconnect from the shared folders to ensure that the process proceeds
smoothly. You might also want to have users disconnect from the shared folders if you
want to change their access rights, since otherwise the change does not take effect until the
user shuts down the computer.
The procedure for disconnecting from a shared folder varies, depending on the operating
system used by the user. Users who connected to shared folders using FTP can disconnect
simply by closing the browser window.
