4. On the 'Auto Share' option select 'Disable'
5. Ensure that the 'Samba function' is set to 'Enable'
6. Windows users: Ensure that the 'Workgroup Name' matches the workgroup name on your
network (this is usually 'Workgroup'):
7. Click Save Settings:
configured when you click Share in the USB device
