3.8 Sharing Media Files

There are two basic ways to share your media files with other family members and friends.

You can create additional user accounts, allowing these users to access all of the files in the

Public directory as well as the media files in the Albums section. It’s also possible to make use

of the guest account for local users that connect via SMB or users that connect remotely via

FTP.

You can use the built-in Cooliris plug-in to create a 3D picture wall of your images and send the

link to your friends and family, allowing them to view the files in their web browser. This works

even for users that do not have their own account and is suitable for those that are not familiar

with SMB and FTP.

3.8.1 Public Folder

Files that are stored within the Public folder can be accessed by anyone who has access to your

network drive.

Files can be viewed and managed via SMB or FTP connection (guest account).

Media files can be viewed by UPnP-AV and DLNA clients that are connected to the same local

network.

For users who have an account on this system, files can be managed via web browser.
