Folder Aggregation
Users can aggregate shared folders on a Windows network and link them to a portal folder accessible on the
NAS. You can link up to 10 folders to a single portal folder.
Go to Control Panel > Privilege > Shared Folders > Folder Aggregation to enable folder aggregation.
Note
• Folder aggregation is supported in Samba networks only. QNAP recommends folder
aggregation for a Windows Active Directory (AD) environment.
• If access permissions are assigned to portal folders, the NAS and remote servers must
be joined to the same AD domain.
