above it. Disabling this option will reject all inheritable permissions and only keep newly added

Effective Permissions: Clicking on this button and then selecting a user from the list will allow you
to view the user’s effective permissions with regards to the specified folder or file.
External Optical Drive: After connecting an external optical drive (CD, DVD, Blu-ray) to your NAS
via USB, you can use File Explorer to directly access any files that you have backed up to optical
media and even transfer files from your optical media to your NAS via drag and drop for future
access.
Note:
1. This function only provides data access and does not support the audio and video playback
of optical media.
2. Certain optical drives will require additional power in order to operate properly. If you
find that your optical drive is not spinning or reading correctly, please use a USB Y-cable
to add additional power.
Task Monitor: Task Monitor allows you to view the progress, speed and status of downloads and
uploads. Additionally, Task Monitor’s multitasking and background operation allow you to
simultaneously upload and download multiple files. You no longer need to wait for tasks to be
completed one by one.
External Devices: Here you can view and format all USB or eSATA external hard disks that are
connected to your NAS. Supported file systems are as follows:
FAT32: for use with Windows and Mac OS X
NTFS: for use with Windows
HFS+: for use with Mac OS X
EXT4: for use with Linux
Reminder: If your device cannot be detected, please try connecting again using another
cable or port.
Virtual Drive: You can mount an ISO image file (.iso file) as a virtual drive and directly browse the
content of the ISO image file. ADM’s virtual drive function also provides simplified access control
settings allowing you to either configure access for all users or limit access to only administrators.
CIFS Folder: Here, you will be able to view all CIFS folders (including personal CIFS folders you
have mounted and shared CIFS folders mounted by administrators).
If you are a regular user that requires use of the CIFS folder mounting service, please contact the
system administrator to grant the associated permissions.
When a remote server supports the CIFS protocol, the server's remote folders can be mounted.
The maximum number of simultaneously mounted CIFS folders is 50.
Network Recycle Bin: Here you can access the enabled Network Recycle Bins of all shared folders.
Reminder: Currently, File Explorer can only show up to the first 10000 files contained within
folders.
