Opening a Share
A share is an area on the My Book Live drive for storing files (similar to a folder or
directory).
Note: In this manual, we use the terms share and folder interchangeably.
A share can be public so that all users can access the contents or private to limit
access to selected users. The Shares option on the navigation panel displays a list of
shares on the My Book Live and enables the Administrator to manage shares and
user access.
Viewing a List of Shares
On the navigation panel , click Shares to display a list of shares on the My Book Live
drive. For each share name, the usage, type of media being shared (served) and
remote access status display.
If the share is private, a lock icon displays to the left. This means that only users
with special access rights may view or modify it. The right panel contains links to
online Help.
