Read-only Shares
By default, new shares are set with read & write access, but you may change the attribute to “Read-only” in “Shared
Folder Attributes”. Read-only shares and HFS+ formatted USB hard drives will have “Read-only” added to the shared
folder description.
Hidden Shares
To hide a shared SMB folder, select “Hidden Share (SMB Only)” and click OK. To open a hidden folder, click Start - Search
programs and files and enter “\\LinkStation’s name\Shared folder names$\” for the name. Example: If the LinkStation’s
name and shared folder name is “LSXXX001” and “share”, you should enter “\\LSXXX001\share$\” in the search box.
Note: AFP and FTP folders cannot be hidden.
