Managing Shares
You can change Share information, change access permissions, make a Share an Active Folder, use
Share volumes, and modify a Share volume.
Changing Share Information
1. Modify the existing name for the Share.
2. Choose whether to enable media sharing. When Media sharing is enabled, the media server
scans this Share for any media content and makes it available to anyone with access to your
network, even if this Share is secured. If you do not want media content made available to
anyone, do not check this option. When Media sharing search is enabled,
displays in the
Properties for that Share.
3. To view the content of a Share, click the View Content link to open the Content Viewer.
4. Click Apply to save your changes.
Changing Access Permissions
Note: You should enable security on your Iomega StorCenter before changing access permissions.
1. Expand Access Permissions to change user permissions to this Share. A security icon
displays in Properties indicating a secure Share. When a secure Share is first created, Everyone
has read and write access to that Share by default, which means that everyone on your
network can read, write, and delete files to and from that Share. When user Everyone has Read
and Write permissions to a Share, the Share is not secure and is open to all users.
2. Check Allow users to change file level security to allow file and folder permissions to be set
through other programs, such as Windows Explorer, independent of the Iomega device . Setting
this option allows users to put additional access restrictions on individual files and folders.
3. To limit access to this Share to a specific set of users, click
Add access permissions and
choose one or more users from the pop-up window.
4. In the Access Permissions section, check Read, Write, or both to set access to this Share for
each user. To remove a user, leave both Read and Write unchecked for that user. If you grant
Read and Write permissions to Everyone, the list of users is also cleared since all users
(Everyone) has access to this Share.
5. Click Apply to save your changes.
Making a Share an Active Folder
1. You can optionally enable Active Folders on a Share to allow you to associate this Share with a
specific feature that will happen automatically when files are copied to the Share. For
example, you can enable a Share as a social media active folder to upload a file to a social
media site. Refer to
Sharing Content with Social Media Overview . You can only set one Active
Folder option per Share.
2. Expand the Active Folder section and check Enable. Select one of the following Active Folder
options and follow the link for details on configuring each:
• Email Distribution
• Facebook
• Flickr
